This stunning lady's wristwatch is crafted in 14K white gold and has a marquise shaped case and white colour dial with Arabic numerals for the 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 o'clock; the remaining silver colour dots indicate the 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 o'clock hours. The hour and minute hands are silver and the Hamilton name is at the top. The watch runs on a manual movement and requires winding daily. A spring loaded diamond set cover is attached and is set with a 0.46 carat marquise cut diamond and twenty-eight tapered baguette cut diamonds combining for 1.22 carats, and twenty-eight round brilliant cut diamonds totalling 1.20 carats. The bracelet of the watch has a safety chain attached and contains a double row of seventy-two round brilliant cut diamonds that combine for 1.20 carats, bringing the total weight of all to 4.00 carats. This watch is designed as an elegant bracelet that just happens to tell time.
Amongst collectors of American horology, Hamilton stands out as the finest American watch ever made. However arguable this statement may be, there is no denying that Hamilton watches demand a premium amongst collectors and are without question the most collectable of all American-made watches. The Hamilton watch company began in 1892 and is recognized by the jewellery trade and the public as exceptional. Hamilton continued to produce some of the finest American watches until 1969, and truly represents the pinnacle of American watchmaking. Watches bearing the Hamilton name can still be found today, but the brand is now owned by the Swatch Group, one of the large Swiss watch conglomerates.
