Authentication Notes

Case

MediumProbable

Rectangular proportions are measurable and are the design

The relationship between case length, width and the curvature over the wrist is what makes a Hampton look like one. Where a rectangular watch is in question, measure rather than compare by eye — the human eye is poor at judging aspect ratios and good at recognising familiarity, which is exactly the wrong combination.
