Hamilton Piping Rock in Solid 14k White Gold with Enamel Inlaid Bezel, Completely Factory Original, Near Mint, c.1929

New Listing!

This Hamilton Piping Rock is one of the most desired and collectable of vintage watches and a very special item. This exceptional example is 100% factory original right down to the original crystal and in spectacular condition, inside and out. We have never seen a finer one. Superb solid 14 karat white gold hinged lug case with black enamel inlaid chapter ring bezel that shows no cracks or chips. Hinged lugs are in superb snug condition with no damage or stretch. The hinges are almost always found with damage and excessive stretch and are almost impossible to repair but these are snug and just superb. This watch was produced first in 1928 for just 3 years and re-issued with some changes after WW2 and is again offered by Hamilton today in a gold filled version with a quartz movement. This is the original first model made in it's second year of production. Factory original dial is clean and unmolested and shows the yellowing of age that you want to see in a factory original dial. The vast majority of Piping Rock's you will see have had their dials either re-painted or replaced over the years. Original blued steel hands are bright and clean, Original solid gold crown. Even the crystal is the factory original and is clean and presentable though it has yellowed slightly over time and shows a little very light crazing at 11:00. The Piping Rock came in solid yellow gold or solid white gold with the white gold model being more desirable to collectors. The case measures 28mm x 43mm. Outside case back engraved with 1930 dedication to Michigan Chapter of AHEPA (a Greek fraternal organization, still active.) Inside is the factory original movement signed Hamilton watch Co  19J Adjusted  979-F which is crisp and clean and keeping remarkably good time. The Piping Rock had male lug pins and used a special female spring bar which are in tact and fitted with a new black padded leather 16mm strap. This rare Hamilton Piping Rock will sell at a premium due to its remarkable all original near mint condition and will be the pride of any fine collection as well as a very solid investment.

Bucherer Large 65 Jewels Solid 18 karat Yellow Gold Automatic with Date, Extra-Fine Condition, c.1969

New Listing!

This is a very special solid 18 karat yellow gold automatic with an unprecedented 65 ruby jeweled movement from Bucherer, a highly respected Swiss maker and dating to the late 1960's. During this era, many high-end Swiss makers were vying for the prestige of making the most highly jeweled mechanical movement. At  65 jewels, this movement has more than twice the number of rubies required to minimize friction and wear in all places needed for maximum performance. The rest of the rubies are not really necessary at all and many are placed solely for the purpose of holding the bragging rights to the most highly jeweled movement and have no practical function, really. Bucherer later lost those bragging rights to several other makers who put up to 100 jewels in their movements but still, this is a very unique and totally remarkable watch. Movement is bright and clean and keeping good time. This extraordinary movement is housed in a large 36.5mm x 44 mm 18 karat solid yellow gold case which is lightly used and still in beautiful extra fine condition with no scratches, dings or damage. Original solid gold crown but the stem has been very slightly hit and you can feel it when the watch is wound or set but it is not a problem and does not interfere with the proper use or operation of this fine watch. The factory original yellow gold dial with gold applied batons and date window at 3:00 is signed with the company logo and "Bucherer, 65 Jewels, Swiss Made." The dial shows a minor ding near 3:00 from a previous service which is only visible under magnification, and some light dust particles. Original solid gold hands set with sweep seconds. Original crystal with one or two very light scratches near the edge which are not really noticeable and could easily be polished out if desired. Overall a very beautiful and remarkable dress watch. Fitted with a new black genuine crocodile 18mm strap.

Windsor Large Cigarette Lighter-Watch with Art Deco Tortoise-Shell Enamel Case from Post-War Japan, All Working Extra-Fine Cond. c.1947

New Listing!

The lighter works as does the watch and everything is in near mint condition and the only cosmetic issues are a couple of very small chips to the enamel on the back. I doubt if the lighter has ever been filled or used as the wick is unburned. The watch winds without removal from the lighter and is running fine and keeps reasonable time. Made in Japan just after the end of WW2. A very cool and handsome addition to any nice lighter or watch collection.
