Hamilton Brock - (Ref. 40993134 AS12126) Product Details
The late 19th and early 20th centuries were without question the golden age of American watchmaking. The implementation of mass production and interchangeable parts assured American supremacy. Brands such as Gruen, Elgin, and Hamilton vied against the Swiss todominate the watch industry — the latter, in particular, was at the top of its game.
Specifically, the development of railroadchronometers gave Hamilton a reputation for accuracy and dependability in an age where these qualities were vital in a watch.
But the brand's production did not rest on railroad chronometers alone: throughout the 1920s and 1930s and the Second World War, the Lancaster, PA-based brand released a dizzying array of designs.
In the 1920s, Hamilton began to deviate from the typical round cases that predominated in the early years of wristwatch production. The company experimented with a variety of shapes, from the square or rectangular “tank” shapes popularized by Cartier to bold asymmetrical designs that subtly foreshadow the Victor, one of theworld’s first electric wristwatches.
This particular Hamilton Brock, fashioned from 14K yellow gold and dating to the 1950s, features a lovely svelte case profile, Breguet numerals, and silvered dial with outer railroad minute track. This watch features the vintage details and personality that speak to a watch with a life lived. There's so much character here, and packaged within suchan affordable case, this piece provides serious value for lovers of vintage design.
Whether you follow in the historical provenance by gifting it this Christmas, or adding a charming vintage dress watch to your collection, you really can't go wrong.
