[WTS] Hamilton 1890's gorgeous pocket watch desk clock
Hamilton This is an incredible Hamilton desk clock from the 1890's. It features a pocket watch movement and dial set in an exhibition desktop clock case that swivels to easily show either side. I believe that this is an example of a sales-desk sample watch. In the 1890's, it was most common to get your pocket watch custom built. You would choose the movement, the dial, the case material and style, then you could choose to do a personal engraving, etc, and they would assemble your bespoke watch. This clock would allow a jeweler to easily show off one of the movements and dials that was available to the customers.

It is one of the most intricately and elaborately decorated movements I have seen, and the finishing just looks gorgeous! The movement is functioning well and keeping time. It is a "lever-set" movement, so you change the time by accessing the lever by unscrewing the front bezel by hand. See pics. The beautiful porcelain dial is in flawless condition, with no cracks, chips, or other damage. The base measures 4-inches by 1.5-inches, and the height is less than 2.75-inches. I have never seen a timepiece quite like this one. A rare and beautiful gem, grab it while you can! Asking $360 USD OBO plus shipping. Payment via PayPal G&S only. Please note that I am shipping the clock from Toronto Canada. But because this item was made entirely in the USA, I have been able to get it "CUSMA certified" for shipping without tariffs within North America. Great international shipping rates available too!
