Why Hamilton Pocket Watches Matter

The story behind "The Railroad Timekeeper of America"

Railroad Heritage

Hamilton earned their reputation the hard way - by making watches accurate enough to keep trains from crashing into each other. When precision literally meant life or death, American railroads trusted Hamilton.

American Craftsmanship

These weren't cheap imports. Hamilton watches were built in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with serious attention to detail. Many featured 21-jewel movements that still run beautifully today.

Collector Interest

Hamilton's railroad history and distinctive American styling make them popular with collectors. The high-grade railroad models are particularly sought after, though values vary considerably depending on the specific model and condition.

What We Buy

We'll consider any Hamilton pocket watch, but let's be honest about what you've got

Railroad Models

Models like the 992, 940, and 950 that met strict railroad standards. These are the ones collectors want, and they're worth proper money if they're genuine and in decent nick.

We Buy

All Case Materials

Hamilton cases in gold-filled, solid gold (9k, 14k, 18k), silver, stainless steel, or platinum. The case quality and material matter, but we're mainly interested in what's inside - the movement is where the real value usually lives.

We Buy

Non-Working Watches

We'll buy non-working Hamiltons, but be realistic - if it needs major work, that affects the price. That said, quality movements can often be restored, so it's worth asking.
