What makes the Lancaster 127 unique: Today, we are thrilled to showcase this breathtaking piece of American ingenuity originally developed by Hamilton Watch Company — the Lancaster 127. Initially constructed in 1927, the Lancaster 127 sports an attractive and faded-looking antique dial, distinct, dark numerals, and a helpful subdial displaying minutes. We paired Hamilton’s original creation with our Machined Titanium case, and the combination evokes a classic, rustic style. The back of the watch boasts 916-grade, open-face movement with a nickel finish and pendant setting. It comes with three adjustable positions and is powered by 17 jewels on its ¾ bridge plate. The Lancaster 271’s clear display case offers a stunning look into the intricate inner workings of the watch’s robust and stunning gold-plated gears. Finally, we equipped the piece with our one-of-a-kind Cordovan Oxblood leather watch strap, adding both comfort and utility to this timeless piece of luxury. Hamilton Watch Company created the Lancaster 127’s original pocket watch in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1927 — the same year Henry Ford concluded production on the famous Model T automobile. Ford developed the Model T in 1908, making it the first vehicle widely accessible to the public because of its affordability. His creation also led to modern workplace innovations, like the assembly line and the 40-hour workweek. After years of success and record-breaking sales, demand for Model Ts finally dwindled, leading to Ford discontinuing his monumental creation in 1927. The Ford Model T remained the best-selling vehicle of all time until the Volkswagen Beetle overtook it in 1972.
