Hamilton Paige
	Hamilton, the top manufacturer in America, made a lot of great looking watches. We are constantly searching for the best condition pieces that can be had in the "Vintage Market" and this watch qualifies not only for condition but also for scarcity. This model, "The Paige" made circa 1940 is a relatively small watch - made originally for a man, but due to today's larger trends, would be perfect for a woman. The case is yellow gold filled and measures 24mm wide by 34mm long. The watch is in excellent condition and bears the inscription on the back "ELM from GJM 12-25-40, obviously a Christmas present from long ago. The Hamilton book shows this model as circa 1941 so whomever bought this one either knew the distributor or was one of the very first to see and buy this handsome watch.  The two-tone dial is all original and has all the mellow patina of a perfectly aged wristwatch face!  The center of the dial is a pale yellow silver while the arcaded black band carries the Roman Numeral hours. Originally these were made with two different dial configurations...one plain and this, harder-to-find, two-tone. The movement is in spectacular condition, winding, setting, and running like new. This is Hamilton's famous caliber 982, 19 jewel movement, that displays the vertical damaskeening pattern that is the familiar Hamilton signature. This "Paige" is a great looking watch that will deliver a lifetime of service from America's greatest watch company...don't miss it. Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence. ZOOM IN

Rolex Oyster Perpetual , Datejust
	This is the perfect watch for every day wear and handsome to boot! The Rolex brand is, of course legendary, and this particular Rolex is a very handsome watch. I think that it is so attractive due to several factors that all combine to make this watch very desirable. The case, measuring 36mm in diameter by 43mm lug to lug, is all stainless steel and in mint condition (clearly seen in the "Zoom-In" photos), with a screw-down crown, and in a classic configuration. Yes, we here at Father Time are partial to black dials and this one is no exception. It is the perfect minimalist dial layout displaying bar markers topped by luminous dots and delineated seconds hash marks. The date window at 3 o'clock has the famous Rolex "Cyclops" magnifier for easy viewing. The Rolex designation of "Oyster" is the assurance that the watch is waterproof and the "Perpetual" designation means that it is automatic or self-winding. This is Rolex's 26 jewel (ref. 1570) workhorse that is officially "Chronometer" rated meaning that it has passed stringent tests for accuracy, heat, cold, and isochronism.  This killer Rolex was made circa 1969 and lovingly cared for over the past 41 years and is now, after our meticulous restoration, ready for another lifetime of use. We have fitted the watch with a beautiful dark brown genuine crocodile band that really compliments the look! If you want a classic wristwatch from Rolex that can be passed down in the family then this may be the piece for you! ZOOM IN

Hamilton Oval
	Hamilton, as you may have guessed, is a company that is near and dear to our hearts here at Father Time Antiques. Their unusual watches, like this one, are few and far between. No the photo is not warped nor are your eyes deceiving you. This is an oval watch. In 1927 Hamilton introduced this avant garde oval watch in two different cases, one was plain polish and the other had an engraved bezel like the one here. The watch is 17 jewel, 14k white gold filled, and has a grade 987 movement. The dial is a silvered two-tone with engraved markers. The blued steel hands still have luminous centers that match the numerals on the dial. The three part case is in excellent condition and the movement is running like a top. If you love the Art Deco era this is the watch for you. These oval Hamilton's are becoming rare. We think that this is a great example of Hamilton's innovative design and one that you will not see walking up and down the street. Remember all of our timepieces are fully restored and come with our famous one year warranty for parts and labor. ZOOM IN

Hamilton Manual Wind
	This Hamilton is a 1947 caliber 747 movement, which is spotless and running like the proverbial top. This was made post WWII when Hamilton production was really gearing-up (so to speak). The movement is a 17 jewel workhorse! The case is yellow gold filled and measures 28mm wide by 40mm in length and is a wonderful design. Take a close look at the "Zoom-In" photos and particularly notice the unusual lug configuration. This is the only case of this type we have ever seen in 30 years at the bench. It is as dramatic as it is stunning. The case front is yellow gold filled while the case back is stainless steel for longevity and ruggedness. Also notice what nice condition it is in...hardy used at all.  The silvered dial has gold applied numerals and classic baton hands to indicate the time. The seconds bit is minimalist and perfectly positioned at the 6 o'clock position. All-in-all this is one very nice Hamilton (America's finest watch company) for not much dough! Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence! This one could be yours! ZOOM IN

Gruen Curvex
	We have found another superb, white gold filled Gruen Curvex! We are constantly searching for these fantastic timepieces but we are very picky and therefore choose only the stellar pieces! This one is in fantastic condition and our master watchmakers have it winding, setting and performing like the day it left "Time Hill" in Cincinatti where Gruen was headquartered! We can work miracles on these watches but we have to start with a sound foundation and this watch has everything a watchmaker could want. The case has to be in very good shape when we find them and one of the ways to confirm this is to look at back of the lugs. If a gold filled case is worn all the way through the gold - down to the base metal (that gives the watch its strength), it is "brassed-out" and the watch does not meet our standards! That wear is the first sign that the watch has too much mileage on it! This is not the case with our watch. Take a look at the "Zoom-In" photos and I think you will see how pristine it is. We look for the gems that have been hidden away - long forgotten and hardly used! This is just such a fine timepiece that we can all be proud of ...and it can be yours. Remember all of our timepieces come with our famous one year warranty for parts and labor so that you may buy with confidence. If you buy this one I'll bet you will keep it all of your days...its that nice! ZOOM IN
