What makes the Lancaster 188 unique: Today we are pleased to bring you this elegant piece originally manufactured by the Hamilton Watch Company in 1929. Built from an antique 17-jewel pocket watch, this timepiece features a machined titanium case, a copper crown, a stone leather strap, and gold-plated gears. We absolutely love the subtle aged look and intricate designs that have been incorporated into this dial. The soft color tones are contrasted well by bold Arabic numerals and accented by a wonderfully unique center pattern. The movement presents a ¾ plate, nickel finish, pendant setting, and black inlay color. The case is designed to be both lightweight and durable, while the copper crown adds a touch of classic elegance. Our stone leather strap is comfortable and stylish, while the gold-plated gears stand out in contrast to the titanium case. With its timeless design and modern craftsmanship, this timepiece is sure to be treasured for generations to come.

This watch was originally produced in Lancaster, Pennsylvania by the Hamilton Watch Company. The Hamilton Watch Company was founded by a group of seven businessmen from Pennsylvania and New Jersey, including lawyer Abram Bitner and watchmaker Henry J. Cain. Hamilton was the first watchmaker to mass-produce wristwatches in the United States, and the company quickly became a major player in the watchmaking industry. Hamilton watches were known for their precision and quality, and the company produced watches for the American military during World War II. Today, we celebrate the legacy of the Hamilton Watch Company and its founders. Their innovative spirit and dedication to quality watchmaking have left a lasting impact on the watchmaking industry in the United States.
