Our Inspiration

Nelson Algren, one of America’s greatest literary voices, captured the raw, urban essence of Chicago. A longtime resident, he wrote fearlessly about the city’s grit, resilience, and unexpected beauty. His themes of perseverance parallel the innovation born from 19th-century factory watchmaking, where challenges fueled craftsmanship and progress.

YOUR WATCH. YOUR STORY.

Transcending traditional watch engraving, you can celebrate life's most celebrated milestones with a unique design, special date, or showcase a symbol that holds personal significance. Whether you are gifting or receiving, the design possibilities are nearly endless.

All Hampden watches are designed to be personalized. Create a one-of-a-kind caseback design with our Design Concierge.

Precision That Makes Its Mark

Precision That Makes Its Mark

Unlike traditional diamond drag engraving, which mechanically scratches the surface, Hampden's laser engraving technique utilizes a focused beam of light to etch designs with exceptional precision. Our method offers several advantages:​

  • Unmatched Detail: Laser engraving produces clean, intricate designs that capture even the finest elements of your personalization.​
  • Consistent Quality: The non-contact nature of laser engraving ensures uniform results across multiple pieces, maintaining the integrity of each design.​
  • Durability: Laser-engraved markings are more resistant to wear over time, preserving the story your watch tells for generations.​

    Our laser engraving technique delivers clean, precise, and long-lasting markings, making it ideal for detailed caseback designs.
