A century of horological heritage and innovative craftsmanship culminate in the new Hampden Model 1 Sullivan Watch.

A lineage that spans over a century, stretching from Europe to North America, the Hampden watch brand is a celebration of heritage and craftsmanship. This strong legacy has come into the limelight once again with the unveiling of the Hampden Model 1 Sullivan Watch. Crafted to commemorate its 100th anniversary, the timepiece is a testament to a family’s timeless devotion to horology. This timepiece is wisely produced in the Swiss-based factory of its Canadian cousin brand, Marathon, adding an extra layer of assurance to its quality.

Named in honor of the influential Chicago architect, Louis Sullivan, often referred to as ’the father of skyscrapers’, the Hampden Model 1 Sullivan continues the legacy by incorporating the architect’s renowned design ethos of ‘form follows function’. Nearly a century after his death, Sullivan’s influence on modern architecture resonates profoundly within this exceptional timepiece.
