Hamilton 14K Coronado
	The "Coronado" is a legendary Hamilton that was made in 1929.  It has a 14K solid gold case that measures 29mm in diameter by 42mm in length, but its crowning glory is the inlaid black enamel bezel. This model was the pinnacle of the enamel bezel series which included the "Piping Rock", and the "Spur".  The "Coronado" was the largest of the series and made a bold statement on the wrist.  As was typical of watches made in the late 1920's, the case is constructed of three parts.  The bezel and the back are fit to the case middle which, on the "Piping Rock", has open corners, but on the Coronado they are concealed by the bezel giving it a more masculine appearance. The movement in this watch is the stellar 19 jewel, caliber 979 example of Hamilton excellence!  You will notice that the Arabic Numerals are inlaid in black enamel within the confines of the bezel and there is an arcaded minutes track on the dial that mimics the case shape.  The case lugs are articulated so that, once you strap it on, the lugs conform to your wrist for a very comfortable fit.      This is the watch that almost all vintage collectors want, once they see one, because it is so spectacular.  Many times these watches are found in bad shape.  Typically the enamel has been chipped and is missing in many areas, the back is engraved, and the movement is trashed....but not in this case!  This is, by far, the nicest Coronado we've ever had after searching for 30 plus years. Our master watchmakers have it ticking like it did way back in 1929.  If you want a fantastic example of Hamilton superiority in the watch world you couldn't find a nicer example.  This "Art Deco", killer timepiece, will draw longing stares and wrist grabs for a closer look.  Hamilton only made 1530 of these watches and how many survive is anyone's guess but, I will venture to say, it is a low number.  If you are looking for the keystone to a nice collection of Hamilton wristwatches than this may be the watch for you!  Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence.

Omega Linen Dial
	Made in 1963 this is another wonderful Omega automatic wristwatch! It has a silvered dial that is textured like fabric, called a "Linen Dial".   It has its original finish and is still looking great!  Housed in a Stainless Steel case, measuring 34mm in diameter by 39mm lug-to-lug, with a screw-down, gasketed back, it also shows the date at the three o'clock position.  This is a classic look in stainless that will be "in style" for eternity, because of the clean and minimalist design features that Omega's designers chose to execute this wristwatch. As nice as this watch looks the movement is even nicer.  It is a seventeen jewel, caliber 550, that is in fabulous condition.  It is sporting the pink gold finish that prevents rust and corrosion that Omega is famous for, and it is running like new!  Also take a gander at the original Omega logo crown.  Many times these are missing but not in this case.  If you have been hankering for a very reliable timepiece that you can just strap on everyday and go, then this may be the watch for you.  These automatic (self-winding) Omegas just can't be beat.  I'd put them up against a Rolex any day.   Yes, this is an exceptionally nice timepiece, in fine, original condition, for not much dough.  We here at Father Time just love the Omega brand and we know you will too.  Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence.  This is the only "Linen Dial" we have...don't miss it.

Gallet Military Chronograph
	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! This watch comes from the prestigeous firm of Gallet, makers of complicated Swiss watches, and the world's oldest watch company.  The founder, Humbertus Gallet, who resided in Geneva was making timepieces in 1466.   In 1864 Gallet opened the first outlet here in Chicago and by 1885 Gallet became the first purveyor of wristwatches made exclusively for mass consumption.  By 1914 Gallet won the Grand Prize in the Chronometer category at the Swiss National Exhibit in Berne.  In 1915 Gallet was supplying hand held and cockpit mounted timepieces to the United Kingdom during WWI. This is one of their fabulous pocket chronometers that has been customized for wrist use, but it has been done with skill and finesse that you never see in these pieces!  This is one BIG puppy measuring in at 47mm in diameter by 59mm lug to lug.  Definitely a watch for the larger men out there. The case work is simply outstanding and the dial is impeccable.  The best part is inside! The 17 jewel, 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!  Make sure you take a look at the "Zoom-In" photos to see the excellent condition and complication of this outstanding timepiece.  Just look at this dial...it is simply fantastic nice and mellow, with curb appeal to-die-for!  The outer ring shows a telemetre scale in kilometers, the inner ring displays the seconds, while the red numbers inside of the chapters show the 24 hundred hour markers for military time.  At the three o'clock position there is a 30 minute accumulated minutes recorder while the constant seconds is at the nine o'clock position.  The luminous material in the hands and skeletonized numerals have a wonderfully mellow color that indicates its WWI vintage, circa 1915.  The crown is a modified onion shape that has a central pusher that is concentric with the crown for actuating the chronograph functions.  Now take a gander at the case back...here you can see the original military ordinance number.  Also notice what nice condition the case is in.  The crowning glory is the movement.  It is clean as a whistle and functioning perfectly.  Need I say more.  Once you see this large, masculine, complicated timepiece you will want to strap it on and show all your friends. Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence. ZOOM IN

Zodiac Glorius Autographic
	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, measuring 34mm in diameter by 42mm lug-to-lug, 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
	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!"  ZOOM IN
