Watches

Baume & Mercier Hampton

Due to present her market segmentation proposal to the president of Global Financial, Morgan tones down her usual haute couture: a blue Michael Kors pinstripe suit, a white Sea Island cotton shirt, Tiffany diamond studs and a Baume & Mercier Hampton on a bracelet, sedate from afar and sophisticated up close. The line is named; no reference is given.

Source text: For accessories she wore her Tiffany diamond stud earrings and Baume & Mercier Hampton bracelet watch. Her appearance was sedate from afar but sophisticated up close. Just the look she wanted. (Tracie Howard and Danita Carter, Revenge Is Best Served Cold, scan cataloged as New American Library, 2001, p. 50; Internet Archive scan OCR)
