Hampden WatchHampden Watch Company is a fourth-generation, family-owned watchmaker with a legacy spanning over a century in the heart of Chicago. As North America’s oldest continually operating watch business, we carry forward a heritage of craftsmanship, innovation, and personal connection. Founded in 1922 as the Clinton Watch Company by Hyman Wein—one of five pioneering brothers in the North American watch industry—Hampden Watch has been a testament to fine watchmaking and technical ingenuity. Our journey has taken us from operating factories in Switzerland and the Virgin Islands to New York and Providence, but our roots and our soul have always been firmly planted in Chicago.Over the years, we’ve expanded our expertise and innovation, earning patents that include our unique removable caseback—an industry first. This innovation enables each Hampden watch to become more than a timepiece: it’s a canvas for personalization, where customers can add handwritten notes, logos, or any detail that commemorates milestones and cherished memories.

To celebrate our anniversary I gave my husband the Model 2 Algren watch and I couldn't be happier with it! He loves the watch and the engraved backing made it feel unique and an extra special way to celebrate. Since starting to wear it he has already gotten many compliments!

Found this watchmaker through online sources. Couldn’t have been more pleased and amazed with the service and product! It started with a call from Crystal out of the blue, just checking in to make sure I understood the process. Then they sent me three proofs of the engraving I chose that went far beyond any creativity I may possess. It was amazing what they came up with. Beautifully laser engraved, well made watch. We can’t recommend them enough.

Our Hampden watch experience was awesome. Hampden helped us with a spectacular custom design to affix to a beautiful watch. The watch is a gift that will be treasured forever.
