Can I engrave a handwritten note or signature?

Yes. Handwritten engravings are Hampden's most popular personalization style, and one of the most meaningful.

Our precision engraving process captures even the smallest pen strokes and subtle variations in handwriting, so you can recognize the person behind the message.

What you can engrave

• A full handwritten note or phrase
• A single signature or name
• A typed message combined with a handwritten signature, a popular anniversary-gift style

How to send us the handwriting

1. Write your message or signature clearly on plain white paper.
2. Take a well-lit photo of it with your phone.
3. Email us along with your order number.

As with any Hampden engraving, you'll review and approve a digital proof before engraving begins. The rest of the process is set out in how to personalize your Hampden watch.
