Gallet Chronograph
product number w2567


This is a piece that will knock you out!  You may have seen similar watches on the internet but you have not seen anything of comparable quality! Of coarse this is a pocket watch that has been converted for wrist use , but it has been done with skill and finesse that you never see in these pieces! The case work is simply outstanding and the dial is impeccable.  The best part is inside! The Gallet movement looks and functions just like new. There are no signs of wear or rust that you commonly see in conversions coming out of eastern Europe! This watch was custom made by our good friends in Canada! We snatched it up before a collector got it -  so you would have a shot at it!

Zodiac Glorius Autographic
product number W2559


Just when I think I've seen everything - something like this comes along! This is the only one of these I have ever seen!  This watch has a 36 hour power reserve indicator, with differential gearing, so you know when the mainspring is winding down. It's kinda like a gas gauge on the dial. The textured dial, and the shiny stainless steel just makes this watch sing!  The markers are unusual too in that they are not connected to the dial but are attached to a separate ring under the crystal, which makes for a very interesting juxtaposition against the texture of the silver dial.  You will have people grabbing your wrist for a better look once you don this unusual timepiece because it is so cool!  Zodiac, of course, is a well-known, Swiss manufacturer and this one came from the factory circa 1959.  The stainless steel case is near mint with "Automatic, Antimagnetic, Water & Shock Resistant and Swiss" marking on the reverse.  The seventeen jewel movement is looking and running like new.  After all is said and done this is a great everyday timepiece with many unusual features that you will be proud to wear and hand down in the family.  Don't miss it!  Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence!

Hamilton Milton
product number W1175


Hamilton made the "Milton" in 1948!  The lugs on this one really distinguish it from the typically modest watches they were making at this time. This has their exceptional 19 jewel, caliber 982 movement in it and it is running like a top.  The case is yellow gold filled and measures 23mm wide by 37mm in length.  Not only is this a handsome watch but it has its original dial with applied gold numerals at the 12 , 2, 4, 8, and 10, while the other chapters are indicated by pointed gold cones.  Also note how the outline for the seconds bit mimics the case shape.  The real style, however, comes from the flared lugs that finish off the corners of the rectangular case with, dare I say it, quite a flare!  This is a classic Hamilton in great, original condition!

Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence.

You could be a real Ham wearing the "Milton!"

Hamilton
product number W2348


This Hamilton is a 1947 caliber 747  movement, which is spotless and  running like the proverbial top. This was made post WWII when Hamilton production was really gearing-up (so to speak). The movement is a 17 jewel workhorse!  The case is yellow gold filled and measures 28mm wide by 40mm in length and is a wonderful design.  Take a close look at the "Zoom-In" photos and particularly notice the unusual lug configuration.  This is the only case of this type we have ever seen in 30 years at the bench.  It is as dramatic as it is stunning.  The case front is yellow gold filled while the case back is stainless steel for longevity and ruggedness.  Also notice what nice condition it is in...hardy used at all.   The silvered dial has gold applied numerals and classic baton hands to indicate the time.  The seconds bit is minimalist and perfectly positioned at the 6 o'clock position.  All-in-all this is one very nice Hamilton (America's finest watch company) for not much dough!  Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence! This one could be yours!

Longines Oversize Stainless Steel
product number W2544


We bend over backwards to find these, and they are not easy to find! Longines are very desirable and sought after, but rarely found in this condition! Look at this watch - it's just like new! The case is stainless steel and measures 37mm in diameter by 46mm in length a coveted "Oversize"! This Longines has a simple classic look that will never go out of style.  Watch manufacturers of this vintage late 1940's  and early 1950's were always striving for compact and sleek models to grace the wrist of the man about town.  Watches of 32mm in diameter and smaller were standard issue, but a few were made to a larger standard, currently referred to as "Oversize".  This Longines is one of those special "Oversize" examples.  Although we constantly search for these models in America it seems that, invariably, these watches are found in either Europe or South America.  Needless to say no matter where we locate these beauties we still want only the best examples for our customers...and this is the proof!

     Make sure that you take a gander at the "Zoom-In" photos to see for yourself how clean, pristine, and keen this one is.  The movement and case condition tell the whole story.  This wristwatch was well cared for over its lifetime and now our master watchmakers have given it the green light for another lifetime of classic elegance on your wrist!  The seventeen jewel engine in this one will chronicle the seconds for generations to come.  Would you like to have a classic stainless steel wristwatch, of a manly size, that will look modern for years to come and perform like the day it was made?  If so this may be the watch for you.  Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year warranty so that you may buy with confidence.
