Hamilton Produced its first watch in 1893, designed by H.J. Cain, oneof the company's founding members. 1893 Hamilton introduces"The Broadway Limited", a railroad watch that was dubbed "thewatch of Railroad accuracy". Initially manufactured to provide the country'srailroads with reliable timing devices, the Hamilton railroad pocket watch was adopted asthe official watch of the American Expeditionary Forces worldwide. A wristwatch version of the railroad watch was issued to General Pershing and hisdoughboys in WWI, accompanied Admiral Byrd on his expeditions to the North andSouth Poles, served the Picards well on their first balloon ascent into thestratosphere, and was on the wrist of the first American to scale Mount Everest.1928 The Yankeeswin the world series. Hamiltonintroduces the Yankee Watch, establishing it as a leader in watch design. Hamilton helped America keep pace with the energyof a new lifestyle. New Hamiltondesigns, such as the Yankee and the Piping Rock, projected the independantspirit of the day. 1930 Hamilton continues tocapture the soaring spirit of the 1930's. The world turns to the skies ascommercial aviation takes off. Hamiltonsoon becomes the official timepiece of the most famous industry leaders – TWA, Eastern, United and Northwest. 1940 WWIIHamilton stops production of watches for consumers and creates new timepiecesexclusively for military use. Close to one million Hamilton military watchesare produced. Today, the 'Hack' has become very collectible among watch andmilitary collectors. 1957 Hamilton's leadership inengineering and innovation creates a significant breakthrough in timekeeping. Hamilton introduces thefirst electric watch in 1957. The Venturabecomes an instant success. See "HamiltonElectric" 1965 Inspired bythe sleek lines of the Cadillac tailfins of the 50's, the Ventura becomes the watch of choice for theicons of American style. Elvis Presley chooses to wear the Ventura in his movie, 'Blue Hawaii.' 1972 The futureis close at hand and Hamiltonshocks the world with a completely new kind of watch. Manufactured at itsheadquarters in Pennsylvania, Hamilton introduces the world's first digitalwatch - the Pulsar. Today, Hamilton s primarycollections include the American Classics collection and the Khaki collection, updated versions of the legendary military timepieces of yesteryear.Manufactured at its headquarters in Pennsylvania, Hamilton introducesthe world's first digital watch - the Pulsar.This gorgeous, designed ART DeCo men’swatch is a very handsome specimen has a signed BLACK enameled STEEL dial with TWOsub-dials. It featuring a 60 minute checkered inner track border, steel handsand Exploding silver Roman numerals with the red XII.The dial is signed HAMILTON in silverenameled letters below the redXII and furthersigned LOCAL TIME – HOME TIME. The case is MELCHIOR and is in great condition, asare the lugs that are solid and secure. The winding crown is gently domed andin excellent shape, operating smoothly. The new BLACK& SILVER dial and the MELCHIOR casehave been professionally updated, and now are in excellent condition. Turning the watch over I seethat the back lid is in good condition. Peeking inside I discover a TWOclean, manual wind nickel finished high-grade mechanisms. First movement for LOCAL TIME has 17 (FULLY) JEWELS, BI-METALLICCOMPENSATED BALANCE with regulationscrews and BALANCE TOP CAPJEWELS.
This is identified - Anti-shock assemblies, and used toprotect the upper and lower balance pivots from damage due to external impacton the watch. The movement is signed HAMILTON – #768 – SWISS – SEWENTEEN 17 JEWELS– UNADJUSTED. Second movement for HOME TIME with BI-METALLICCOMPENSATED BALANCE with regulation screws and BALANCE TOP CAP JEWELS is FULLY (17) JEWELED. The movement is signed HAMILTON – #768 – SWISS – SEWENTEEN 17JEWELS – UNADJUSTED.The number of jewels used in watchmovements increased over the last 150 years as jewelling grew less expensiveand watches grew more accurate. The only bearings that really need to bejeweled in a watch are the ones in the going train - the gear train thattransmits force from the mainspring barrel to the balance wheel - since onlythey are constantly under force from the mainspring. The wheels that turn thehands (the motion work) and the calendar wheels are not under load, while theones that wind the mainspring (the keyless work) are used very seldom, so theydo not wear significantly. Friction has the greatest effect in the wheels thatmove the fastest, so they benefit most from jewelling. So the first mechanismto be jeweled in watches was the balance wheel pivots, followed by theescapement. As more jeweled bearings were added, they were applied to slowermoving wheels, and jewelling progressed up the going train toward the barrel. A 17 jewel watch has every bearing fromthe balance wheel to the mainspring barrel jeweled, so it was considered a 'fully jeweled' watch. This beautiful wristwatch has the TWO ORIGINAL movements in an excellent statuswhich was very well saved, considering age of this watch. Mechanisms have been recently serviced toensure it winds and sets smoothly while keeping great, accurate time. It isfitted on a new 22mm black alligator style genuine leather strap with chromed steelbuckle that is vintage style and goes great with this watch. This beautifully preserved timepiecemeasures 43mm end to end and 35mm in width (31mm with crown).
This very fine watch winds andsets very smoothly while keeping very good, accurate time.Because ofthe vintage nature of the watch I cannot guarantee its absolute time keepingaccuracy even if they are in good running condition and in some rare occasionsmay require additional adjustment.Supplied with Certificate of Seller'sWarranty and instructions for care and use of this watch.Always an EXTRA FINE watches at a no Reserve Price!!!If you like rare, antique, unique and collectible vintage wristwatches or pocket watches (or just enjoy learning about all the different watch makers and models) I suggest you bookmark this page or add me to your "Favorite Sellers" list. I always have beautiful pristine timepieces for sale ending Monday. Now on eBay for 10 Years! Recommendations for the owner of vintage watches: - All Antique watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches).
- Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive.
- Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.
- If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.
- If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc.
- Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard.
- When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement.
- If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).
- Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism.
- Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches.
- If the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down.
- To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth.
- Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement.
- Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.
- Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.
