RARE WATCHES FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION

(Updated 7/12/10)


I have been collecting Hamilton watches for over 26 years now, and have been dealing in them professionally for 22 years. Over those many years I have continually upgraded my personal collection. I have bought and sold thousands of watches and have always kept the very best examples for myself. Consequently every watch in my personal collection is the finest of its kind I have ever handled.

My collection has now reached a point where it has simply become too large. In order to refine my collection I will be selling some of my finest pieces over the coming months, as well as some of my more common ones. Please check this page periodically, my plan is to list a few new offerings each month.

Also, if you have any specific wants, feel free to ask. I may be open to discussion on certain items.





NEW-OLD-STOCK ELECTRICS

The watches below are all works of horological art: brand-new, never worn, just as they left the Hamilton factory 45-50 years ago. For decades I have made it my collecting focus to seek out these pristine, flawless watches. They are literally time capsules, exactly as a customer would have found them in a jewelry store in the 1960s. For a watch collector this is as close to time travel as you could hope for.

Although these are all new and unused the old lubricants in the movements have long ago dried out. I have not overhauled these watches because I see no point in doing so. It would be a shame to wear these watches as that would immediately destroy their historic perfection. These are best preserved as the fantastic rarities they are. New-old-stock watches are excessively rare compared to their well-worn brethren and should be prized as works of art. These watches are expensive, but well worth the premium over ordinary examples.
