The beautiful Hamilton breguet overcoiled, blued HS, sends a chill down my spine, yes, I need a life 😆
This all seems original and probably hasn’t been touched since the last service date inscription of 1932 LOL
Just something I like to do with my watches, I check the production dates and then do a little search to see what was going on in, lets say, for this watch, 1907…
1907
Jan 1st – Pres Theodore Roosevelt shakes a record 8,513 hands in 1 day
Feb 11th – Passenger ship Larchmont sinks by Block Island, 322 die
Feb 13th – English suffragettes storm British Parliament & 60 women are arrested
Mar 5th – 1st radio broadcast of a musical composition aired
May 31st – Taxis 1st began running in NYC
Jul 1st – World’s 1st air force established (US Army)
Jul 29th – Sir Robert Baden-Powell forms Boy Scouts in England
Nov 16th – Oklahoma becomes the United States 46th state
Kinda puts the watch era in to perspective, and it’s interesting :ugeek:
