The pocket watch sports a breathtaking cream-colored dial with an intricate, textured center design with dark, stylized numerals. The piece also features blue hour and minute hands along with a fashionable yet straightforward subdial. We further emphasized the dial's sophisticated design by pairing it with our Machined Titanium case and nickel-plated crown. The back of the watch features a 912-grade open-face movement with a nickel finish, black inlay color, and pendant setting. The watch also boasts stunning gold-plated gears powered by 17 screw-set jewels atop its ¾ plate. Finally, we equipped the piece with our comfortable, artisan-designed Cordovan Oxblood leather watch strap, making the final watch even more fashionable. The Hamilton Watch Company initially produced the pocket watch in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1933 — the same year that President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his famous inaugural speech. President Roosevelt's first inauguration occurred on March 4, 1933, while the United States struggled with unemployment in the Great Depression. President Roosevelt used his speech to discuss some components of his \"new deal\" plan. His iconic line, \"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,\" was paraphrased from the poet and philosopher Henry David Thoreau, who once wrote in his journal, \"Nothing is so much to be feared as fear.\" Additionally, in the 16th century, English philosopher Francis Bacon wrote a similar line stating, \"Nothing is terrible except fear itself.\" \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39745505067086,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2022-04-05-7496.jpg?v=1649198229","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-lancaster-137-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
