EXCEPTIONAL 1924 HAMILTON 940 21j MONTGOMERY DIAL RR 18S POCKETWATCH~KEEPS TIME. Item Is Pre-Owned; Item Is Sold "AS IS"; Shipped USPS Ground Advantage. Signature Confirmation will be required for this item.

Presented for your viewing as well as bidding pleasure I offer an exceptional example of American watchmaking at its best. This 18 size Hamilton pocket watch manufactured in 1913 is a model 1. The Gibraltar gold filled case is in very good condition with less than the expected surface marks and fine scratches although there are two very tiny dings to the rim. Both lids screw on and off without issue and there are no inscriptions marring its surface. Likewise, the glass crystal is clean, clear and without notable issues offering an unobstructed view of the perfect double sunk white porcelain Montogomery dial. The gilt inlay damaskeened, stem wound and lever set, 21 jewel, double roller movement, adjusted to temperature and five positions with gold jeweled settings is a work of art and easily qualifies as one of the most attractive movements that Hamilton has ever manufactured. As befitting its condition, this timepiece winds, sets and keeps good time although unerring accuracy is not guaranteed, nor should it be expected. As with all timepieces of this vintage, a cleaning and adjustment is always recommended.

Please review all the pictures as they represent far more accurately the items condition than any verbal description that I can provide. In those situations where you are uncertain or unsure, ask questions, before bidding. Don't assume. Asking questions will ensure that you receive what you expect. Most if not all of the horological items which I present for auction are from watchmakers' estates which have been in storage for a number of years. Consequently, I have no details as to their prior history nor can I offer any information other than what has been gleaned from cursory observation.


Now for the boring stuff:


Please study the photographs closely as they are considered part of the description. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me prior to bidding.

We do not offer, nor give partial refunds. The item must be returned in the same condition and with the same packaging and paperwork, if any, with which it was sent.
