Hampden 17 jewel Conversion from 1914

Hampden Watch Co. was in operation from 1877-1927 and was an American pocket watch manufacturer. Manufacturing of Hampden watches took place at their facility in Canton, Ohio.

This Hampden timepiece was manufactured in Canton, Ohio, and was finished in 1914. It is powered by the grade No. 307 movement, which is a 17 jewel movement produced by Hampden during the early 1900s. The movement has been restored and custom refinished with vibrant blue accents. The accents were created through thermally treating each movement part by hand to color the iron based components. The hands have not been restored and are in their original heat blue condition. The Hampden dial is metal and in excellent condition and features a gilt finish. The dial has beautiful bold Arabic Numerals and is also double sunk. The watch is cased in a new silver-colored wrist watch conversion case so the watch can be enjoyed on your wrist. This case is designed with adjustable lugs making the watch easy to wind and set. The adjustable lugs also permit a more custom fit for different wrist sizes. The watch comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventure. Because of our dedication to preserving history, the original Hampden pocket watch case will be included as well.
