The pocket watch’s dial features an antique-looking, tan background with highly unique and rustic gold-colored numerals. The piece also sports dark violet minute and hour hands that draw even more attention to the breathtakingly distinct dial. We matched the pocket watch with our scratch-resistant Machined Titanium case and gold-plated crown. The crown pairs excellently with the dial’s unforgettable numerals. The back of the watch features 918-grade open-face movement with a Breguet hairspring, ¾ plate, and three adjustable positions. You can also see its gold-plated gears powered by 19 ruby jewels with matching gold screw settings. To tie the piece together, we added a hand-crafted, comfortable Stout leather watch strap and a gold-plated buckle resembling the crown and numerals. The Hamilton Watch Company manufactured this piece in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1928 — the same year President Calvin Coolidge approved the Boulder Canyon Project, leading to the construction of the Hoover Dam. Before the Hoover Dam’s construction, the Colorado River frequently flooded and destroyed farms in California. The dam cost over 49 million dollars to construct at the time, which is worth over $680 million today. Congress referred to the dam as the Hoover Dam because Herbert Hoover was president during the first years of its construction. During the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, the dam was called the Boulder Dam, but Congress officially named the dam after Herbert Hoover in 1947. \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39702721855566,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2022-03-02-6932.jpg?v=1646241740","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-lancaster-132-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
