Rare Hamilton "Square" men's Art Deco design wristwatch in solid 14K white gold, circa 1928.
This is the second version of the "Square" model and was introduced in 1927. It has a case made by Fahys with a wide center casebody. The gold alloy used in the center casebody often takes a greenish color, giving the case a striking two-tone appearance. This example has a rare two-tone pinstripe dial with solid 18K gold numerals sourced by Hamilton from Fluckiger of Switzerland. In this configuration, this watch was priced at $93.00 in 1928. It is in excellent condition showing only very light wear. Caseback is excellent, with an Art Deco design monogram. The case measures 35mm long and 29mm wide. Refinished dial is excellent, with some light marks. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Hamilton grade 987 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
