OUR INSPIRATION

Daniel Burnham's contributions to architecture and urban planning left an indelible mark on the city of Chicago. His emphasis on beauty, order, and functionality in urban design has been a huge influence in the design of our first Model in the Centennial Watch Collection.

Swiss Made

The Burnham is the first watch of the Hampden Centennial Collection, and we wanted to make it special. We could think of no better way, than to collaborate with our cousins at Marathon Watch of Canada, the second-oldest watch company in North America. Marathon’s founder Morris Wein, and our founder Hyman Wein were brothers.
Marathon agreed to assemble The Burnham in their Swiss factory in La Chaux-de-fonds. We thought it was a fitting way to honor our multi-generational family story.

The quality is exceptional and the personal message from my dad on the back is special to me.
