I offer a beautiful and very rare vintage piece for auction! An elegant American Art Deco classic: Hamilton wristwatch from 1931! • 10K gold filled case in beautiful, wear-free condition for its age • Stunning antique appearance – the dial, case, and hands have survived in authentic, very nice condition • Hamilton 987-F manual wind movement – 17 jewels, genuine American made (Lancaster, PA), caliber decorated with Geneva stripes • The "F" marking on the movement indicates "Friction set" jewels, which was a technological refinement by Hamilton at the time • Service history is unknown; the watch works accurately and keeps time well • Classic gold-colored dial with elegant applied Arabic numerals and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock • 10K Gold Filled case back (marked Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA) • Vintage-style, used brown leather strap • Case diameter: approx. 29 mm (without crown) – due to the elongated case, it appears much larger! • Lug-to-lug distance: approx. 37 mm • Authentic Art Deco design, reflecting the characteristic shapes and elegance of the early 1930s • Original, period-correct condition with a noble patina on the dial developed over the decades This piece was manufactured in 1931, during Hamilton's golden age when the brand was referred to as "The Watch of Railroad Accuracy." The watch was produced entirely in the United States, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The 987-F movement is one of Hamilton's most important engineering milestones, featuring jewels set using a then-modern friction process. This Art Deco style watch is not just a timepiece, but a valuable piece of American watchmaking history. No reserve price – the highest bid wins! The photos are original, not manipulated, and form part of the description. The watch is a used (vintage) piece, therefore minor scratches or signs of use may occur.
