I purchased this Hamilton Hastings in 2020 from a fellow vintage watch collector. He was teaching himself watchmaking and did most of the restorations on this beauty by himself. When I see this watch, I think it’s perfectly paired with Ford just a historically reliable workhorse for men in America doing their job. This watch was never considered dressy, and though the scratches on this newer crystal are mine. I’m sure throughout his history other scratches were common. This watch has been on some man’s wrist for the past 95 years just reliably doing it’s job and keeping accurate time day in and day out, just like the man wearing it had to be reliable day in and day out.
