The Lancaster 134 (47mm)

What makes the Lancaster 134 unique: Today, we’re thrilled to present you this elegant piece initially produced by the Hamilton Pocket Watch Company in 1928 — the Lancaster 134. The piece’s simple yet stylish dial features a white background along with subtle, highly unique dots along its face. The dial also sports navy hour and minute hands with arrow-shaped tips as well as dark, stylish numerals that convey the watch’s antique qualities. We paired the original pocket watch with our robust, one-of-a-kind Machined Titanium case, and we topped it off with a copper crown. The Machined Titanium’s rear display case reveals breathtaking details, including 19 ruby jewels with gold settings, a ¾ plate, a micrometer regulator, and a Breguet hairspring. The piece also boasts gold-plated gears that match its distinct gold-colored engravings. Its engravings attest to the watch’s authenticity reading “Hamilton Watch Co. Lancaster, PA.” Finally, the watch’s 918-grade open-face movement comes with a nickel finish and pendant setting. We equipped this antique piece with our comfortable, artisan-designed Olive leather watch strap. The Hamilton Watch Company manufactured the pocket watch in 1928 — the same year that sliced bread became available to the public. Sliced bread inventor Otto Frederick Rohwedder first created a bread-slicing machine prototype in 1912, but a fire destroyed his invention. Fortunately, in 1928, Fohwedder successfully developed a fully working bread-slicing machine. The Missouri-based Chillicothe Baking Company sold the first bread slices on July 7, 1928, meaning the Lancaster 134 is as old as sliced bread.
