About Antique Hamilton Pocket Watches

The Hamilton Watch Company was founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to make railroad-grade watches (which had to meet exacting standards for readability and accuracy). Hamilton's wristwatches were successful early in the 20th century, but it's their pre-1920 pocket watches that are most valued by collectors.
