Without question, Hamilton Watch Company of Lancaster, Pa. has emerged as one of the finest watch houses to ever build a timepiece. Around the world, the Hamilton watch is lauded for its innovative design, both functionally and artistically. Beginning their claim to fame as designers of railroad pocket watches with degrees of error measured within fractions of seconds a day, Hamilton went on to become major forces in the wristwatch line, hiring the brightest designers and engineers to oversee development of hundreds of original styles. Today, Hamiltons retain their spot as most favored timepieces among fashion artists and collectors.

What better example of the excellence of Hamilton Watch Company than this'20s-era wristwatch with a superb, original '20s-era dial and smooth, white gold-filled case? Its quintessential Art Deco design, oversized "boxcar" numerals and "stained glass" hands all enhance what is one of the most unusual Hamiltons you'll find anywhere.

The white gold-filled bezel sweeps down to form stylish lugs on a crisp, original white gold-filled case. The original 17 ruby jewel 987 movement keeps good time, as it has been thoroughly cleaned, oiled and calibrated by our expert watchmaker. We've even fitted this 35mm by 26mm masterpiece with a period new-old stock strap. Offered in an equally handsome period presentation case. What a fine-looking work of Deco wrist art!
