Watch This

It's too hot to go out and look for photographic opportunities, so
so I took some inside shots:

Very crisp. Have you tried a black background?

I pimp a Hamilton Khaki on my wrist daily. I LOVE the swiss movement. Is this piece from a time when hamilton was responsible for their own movement? (Pre-ETA/Swatch)

All of the watch movements are from a box that I bought over 20
years ago at a antique/junk store. The Hamilton ladies watch movement
is serial # J557307. That series started in 1937 at J1001 and ended in
1951 at J670600, so I'd estimate that this was made in the late 1940s.

I used to collect pocket watches, but have all but one on eBay. I kept a nice
Howard that still runs perfectly.

To the poster who asked about a black background, here's a Waltham hunter-cased Traveler
that was made in 1908. I sold this watch.

Hunter-cased pocket watches are difficult to photograph because of glare and reflection
from the lighting.
