Hamilton

1940s Hamilton Gordan 18K YG Cal. 982

Hamilton was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1882 and initially specialized in producing pocket watches. The brand boasts a long and impressive history of breakthroughs in design and technology, and while probably best known for their military associations and fantastic field watches, they've put out some really remarkable outliers as well.

Case in point, this beautifully elegant 18K yellow gold piece from the 1940s. The small, rectangular case, gold markers, and small seconds all come together perfectly to offer a unique alternative to a Cartier Tank. And at a lot more affordable a price point.
