This classic Hamilton cushion shaped watch is fitted with a Sterling Silver dial and the applied numerals are done in 18Kt. gold. Hamilton was one of Americas finest watch factories helping to build the American Railroad system at the turn of the century. They also designed and built the navigational chronometers used by the US Navy during WW 2. The model was copied exactly by Russia and used by their navy until the 1980?s. They are renowned for their quality and dependability.
This shape, the Tonneau or the Barrel was inspired by a design of Louis Cartier. He saw barrels on the docks in Marseille France before W. W. 1 and thought it would make a great shape for a watch. The Tonneau shape is still in Cartier line today, over 100 years later.
