Here we have a Hampden wristwatch from 1918. The chrome plated case measures about 32mm in diameter, not including the crown, 16mm lug width. This is a very early example of a wristwatch, many of which were converted pocket watch movements put into wristwatch cases. I'm pretty sure this is one of those, but the case is age appropriate. It's a driver's style wristwatch. Dial is gold in color and appears original. The 17 jewel, manual wind movement was serviced by my local watchmaker, before I bought it from him, so it keeps great time. Made in Canton Ohio, not far from me. Crystal is glass and in great shape. Band is a steel, stretchy, scissor type band. I'm asking $135 or best offer. Returns accepted if misrepresented. Thanks, Matt
When I started collecting, buying and selling back in 1989 these were the watches collectors were clamoring for. I'm glad to see we've swung back around to appreciating these vintage pieces. GWLTS @knafel1983
Good question. I am not exactly sure, I would have to check when I get home. Judging by the picture though, it does kind of look like it.
Ever respond to a thread, think you're PM'ing someone? Lol. I just looked up the Hampden 400 movement, and it is listed as a 7 jewel movement.
