Description from the seller
Presented for auction by Second Vintage
This Hamilton Lloyd Automatic is a striking tribute to architectural design, featuring a distinctive square case and a sophisticated textured dial. Its Art Deco aesthetic, combined with modern Swiss reliability and a unique exhibition caseback, makes it a standout piece for collectors who appreciate geometric bold innovation in watchmaking.
Brand: Hamilton
Model: Lloyd Automatic
Reference Number: 000221
Movement: Automatic
Dial: Textured Anthracite
Case Size: 35 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless Steel
Production Year: c. 2000s
Condition: Good vintage condition
Dial and Hands
The dial features a sophisticated horizontal ribbed texture in a deep anthracite grey tone that plays beautifully with the light, creating a sense of depth and structure. Applied silver Arabic numerals provide a classic contrast and excellent legibility, while the date window is elegantly positioned at the six o'clock mark. The polished alpha-style hands remain sharp and clean, complementing the architectural feel of the watch face.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel square case is the defining feature of this model, showcasing unique stylized lugs and decorative corner rivets that evoke a strong Art Deco influence. There are visible surface scratches and signs of wear on the polished bezel and case sides consistent with regular use, yet the case retains its distinctive geometry. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal that remains clear and offers an unobstructed view of the textured dial.
Movement
Powering the watch is a reliable Swiss automatic movement with twenty-five jewels, visible through the rear exhibition display window. The rotor is signed by Hamilton, showcasing the quality of the mechanism inside. The watch is currently running between -25 and -36 seconds per day, which indicates healthy movement function.
Strap
The watch is paired with a black leather strap featuring contrasting white stitching, which enhances the sporty yet elegant character of the timepiece. The leather shows some creasing and signs of wear consistent with age but remains soft and serviceable, securing the watch firmly to the wrist.
Condition
This timepiece is in good vintage condition, presenting an honest and attractive appearance. The case shows normal wear with visible scratches and handling marks expected from a pre-owned watch, but the architectural lines remain crisp and the overall presentation is very strong. The dial is exceptionally well preserved, and the movement is functioning, offering a distinctive presence on the wrist.
Dimensions
The square case measures 35 mm in width excluding the crown. It is important to note that square watches typically wear larger than their round counterparts, giving this piece a substantial and commanding presence on the wrist comparable to a larger round watch.
Remarks
The Hamilton Lloyd is a rare find that perfectly balances retro aesthetics with modern Swiss engineering. Its distinctive case shape and detailed dial texture make it a conversation starter and a stylish addition to any collection focusing on design-centric timepieces.
History
Hamilton was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1892 and became famous for its accuracy in railroad timing and its supply to the US military during the 20th century. Later moving its operations to Switzerland, the brand successfully combined American design heritage with Swiss precision. This specific model pays homage to the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, reflecting his philosophy of organic architecture and geometric harmony in its bold case design.
