1908 vintage 18 size Hamilton 946 in its silver case and swinging from the "Kidder chain." A kind friend made a gift to me of his grandfather Kidder's solid silver watch chain. Only the fabulous Hamilton 946 is deemed worthy of the chain.

A sacrificial watch today. We’re preparing for a train show this coming week end, and I have a lot of “scut” work to do. Organizing our display materials, last minute checks to be certain we have everything we need, and loading my truck. So I have resurrected this artifact from my collection. Dial name BIRKS refers to the Canadian firm Henry Birks & Sons Jewellers, and it is likely about 50 years old. Equipped with (I suspect) an ETA movement of some description. I seldom wear it, other than on days like this, even though the style appeals to me.

If nobody has ever called dibs... dibs! Love this so much. I'll probably never get a pocket watch, but if I do, I want this.
