The Hampshire

The Hampshire embodies everything that has made Wagstaff the timekeeper of choice for Britain's countryside community for generations. This exceptional timepiece seamlessly bridges the gap between elegant formality and everyday reliability, making it the perfect companion whether you're reviewing the morning's shoot over breakfast at the manor or joining friends for drinks at the village pub.

At first glance, the Hampshire commands attention with its striking deep sapphire blue dial – a rich, lustrous surface that captures light like morning mist across rolling fields. The refined dauphine hands sweep gracefully across the hours, their polished surfaces catching the light with every movement. This is a watch that feels equally at home paired with tweeds and brogues as it does complementing evening dress for a county soiree.

Beneath the Hampshire's distinguished exterior beats the heart of horological excellence – the meticulously adjusted Swiss Ronda R150 movement. This precision mechanism ensures that whether you're timing the morning hack or catching the last train to London, accuracy is never in question. The exhibition caseback transforms the rear of the watch into a window to this mechanical poetry, allowing you to witness the mesmerizing dance of Swiss engineering that has powered the world's finest timepieces for centuries.

The Hampshire's robust steel case construction reflects Wagstaff's deep understanding of the British way of life. This is not a precious object to be locked away, but a reliable companion designed to withstand the demands of an active lifestyle. From morning walks with the dogs through muddy fields to afternoon point-to-points, from estate business meetings to evening entertaining, the Hampshire maintains its composure and precision through it all.

The thoughtfully engineered steel case provides the perfect balance of durability and refinement. It's substantial enough to reassure, yet elegant enough never to appear out of place at life's more formal moments. This is the kind of robust reliability that has made Wagstaff the trusted choice of farming families, sporting enthusiasts, and country professionals across Britain.

For decades, Wagstaff has been synonymous with the rhythms of rural Britain. Our watches have timed everything from county shows to harvest seasons, from morning rides to evening shoots. The Hampshire continues this proud tradition, offering the kind of dependable timekeeping that busy country lives demand, wrapped in the sophisticated styling that reflects the discerning taste of our community.
