What makes the Lancaster 146 unique: Today, we're thrilled to showcase this elegant piece of history originally manufactured by the Hamilton Watch Company in 1927 — the Lancaster 146. The watch's dial features notably bold black numerals atop its rustic, cream-colored background, and it boasts stunning dark royal blue watch hands. We encased the original antique pocket watch within our stylish and robust Machined Titanium case, and we paired it with a copper crown. The glimmering case and crown add even more sophistication to the final one-of-a-kind piece. The back of the watch features a 912-grade open-face movement with a nickel finish, black inlay color, and pendant setting. You can also view the timepiece's breathtaking gold-plated gears powered by 17 jewels throughout its ¾ plate. We matched the watch with our handcrafted Natural leather watch strap, adding to the timepiece's rustic charm. The Hamilton Watch Company produced the original pocket watch in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1927 — the same year that the United States passed the Radio Act, establishing the Federal Radio Commission (FRC). The FRC served as the precursor for the Federal Communications Commission, and its main function was to regulate radio broadcasts. The FRC created a standard for radio stations to be "in the public interest, convenience, or necessity."
