This very nice 1950 Hamilton features a 14ct gold case, art deco design with fancy lugs, a sweep second hand (high tech at the time) and is one of very few USA watchmakers that survived into the 1950’s.
The Hamilton 748 movement is typically pleasing on the eye for this era with characteristic Hamilton striped finish
About robswatches
I’m a horoligical “petrol head”! I love classical mechanical watches, not because they tell me the time, I can get the time from cheap quartz watches, my computer, phone, microwave or just about anywhere. I’m interested in the movements of watches, the aesthetics of case design and their construction, the history and the simple thrill of watching tiny, beautifully finished wheels, pinions and other parts turning and oscillating and marvelling at the craftsmanship that created it.
