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.
This Hamilton timepiece, crafted in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1928, features a distinctive guilloche dial with a textured finish that sets it apart. The piece is powered by the 912 grade movement—a 17-jewel in-house Hamilton caliber produced from 1923 to 1937. The movement has been carefully refinished with blue accents on the screws and hardware, applied by hand using thermal coloring—a traditional technique used by early 20th-century watchmakers to enhance both corrosion resistance and visual appeal. The brass jewel settings, balance, balance weights, and gear train were individually hand-polished to restore their original golden brilliance and sheen. The watch hands were brought back to their original near-flawless heat-blued condition—a process that required multiple heating, cooling, and polishing steps to achieve the perfect deep blue hue. The dial features a guilloche motif that radiates from the center, while the textured perimeter is simply stunning. The interwoven patterns resemble an Art Deco interpretation of an American city skyline—truly epic.
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.
