**Be very sure you know how to operate a swing-out case before attempting.  Damage will occur if not done correctly.**

Here is a very nice example of timepiece from the beginning of the 20th century. It is a Hamilton 940 pocket watch with serial number 514086, dating it to c.1906.  
Hamilton made such an excellent product that they purchased the Illinois Watch Co. in 1927, thus making them a powerhouse in the industry. 

I always say, "Hamilton is the Cadillac of American watches."

The bright double-sunk porcelain dial, sub seconds dial & blued steel hands just speak volumes of styling from a by gone era...all protected by the original, thick glass crystal.  

The Trade Mark made 'Silveroid' swing-out case is in excellent condition.  They always made quality products.  I have ultrasonically cleaned & hand buffed to a deep satin sheen.....just an awesome Hamilton.  

A new 10'' chain has been attached for safety.  ALWAYS use a chain, trust me.

I have completely overhauled the 21 jewel movement, and it is running stronger than ever.  I completely disassembled it...and when I say that I mean the mainspring removed from the barrel, new one installed, cap jewels removed, hairspring & balance cleaned ... all of my pieces are done this way. It was lubed with fine Swiss synthetic oils & greases. They all receive the works as they should.
