Hi all! Just thought I’d post this new pickup for me: the Hamilton Railroad pocket watch. I visited the Lancaster Hamilton location (about two hours away from me) and couldn’t leave this beautiful piece there after seeing the antique ones in the cases. This is number 625/917 and I can’t wait to give it the love it deserves. The enamel dial is just beautiful! What are your opinions on pocket watches in 2023?
I like them, but they can be seen as a bit tryhardy to outsiders. Some days, you just don’t want something sitting on the wrists, and if you got pocket space, why not?
