Hamilton Watch Co. was in operation from 1892-1969 and manufactured some of the highest end, most accurate watches ever produced. Manufacturing of Hamilton watches took place at their facility in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Crafted in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1925, this timepiece is powered by the Grade 912, a 17-jewel in-house movement produced by The Hamilton Watch Company between 1923 and 1937. The guilloché metal dial is absolutely spectacular. Not a single area of the dial is left flat—the center, outer field, and subdial each feature their own distinct texture. The center and subdial display elegant concentric circular patterns, while the outer field is decorated with finely engraved vertical lines. The hour markers are carved directly into the dial, creating depth and contrast without disrupting the flowing design. For guilloché work, this is about as good as it gets. On the movement side, every component was carefully refinished in our workshop in Little Rock, Arkansas. Screws and steel hardware were thermally blued one at a time through controlled heating over an alcohol lamp, a traditional watchmaking technique that improves corrosion resistance while adding rich blue contrast to the movement (read more here). The jewel settings, gear train, balance, and balance weights were individually hand polished to restore their original golden luster. The enamel lettering was restored in light blue to match the strap, creating a cohesive piece from head to toe.
The timepiece is housed in a new 316L stainless steel wristwatch conversion case, designed with adjustable lugs for easy winding and setting, ensuring a comfortable fit across various wrist sizes. The case is equipped with front, back, and crown gaskets, providing water resistance up to 50 meters, although we recommend removing the watch before water activities. The watch is fully serviced and ready for your upcoming adventures.
