American railway pocket watch watch 992 'Hamilton Watch co', 1912.
Hamilton Watch Co. was founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and began its production of pocket watches that have immediately enjoyed a good reputation, Until it attracted the attention of the first American railway company for which Hamilton produced Broadway Limited.
During the First World War, Hamilton became the official supplier of the US Army.
Between 1920 and 1930, the Maison endeavoured to produce art deco watches, anticipating the times and fashions, with cutting-edge materials, still marking the history of watchmaking.
