After a week of high profile releases haute horlogerie from Watches And Wonders, we thought it might be worth revisiting a piece that offers a look at a more common species from within our ecosystem. Focusing on a flock of low-key Hamiltons, take flight with a collection both specific and – among its own ranks – varied. From L.L. Bean to army surplus, the story of these humble Hamiltons offers a charm all its own.
Written by Jason Heaton and published in March of 2018, this is a slice-of-life collector profile that highlights raw collectability nostalgia over complications, precious metals, and limited editions. While at first glance these watches may all look the same as they fly past your view, take a moment to appreciate the details, and don't forget that this design helped to inform Hamilton's much-loved modern Khaki Field Mechanical. Birds of a feather, it seems.
