This one-of-a-kind wristwatch is powered by an antique pocket watch from 1928. The pocket watch features a unique dial with golden numerals that complement the piece’s light-tan background. The front of the piece also displays distinct violet diamond kite hands as well as a stylish subdial. We matched the dial’s unique colors with our Bronzed Titanium case and equipped it with an eye-catching nickel-plated crown. On the back of the watch, you can view the timepiece’s 912-grade open-face movement with a nickel finish, black inlay color, and pendant setting. The back of the watch also boasts luxurious gold-plated gears powered by 17 screw-set jewels throughout its ¾ plate. Finally, we equipped this antique watch with our comfortable Stone leather watch strap, drawing further attention to the Lancaster 153’s unforgettable dial and case. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Hamilton Watch Company initially produced this piece’s pocket watch in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1928 — the same year Philip Drinker and Louis Agassiz Shaw Jr. invented the iron lung. The device works by varying the air pressure within a tightly enclosed space, stimulating a person’s breathing. Medical professionals first used the iron lung on an eight-year-old girl dying of respiratory failure as a result of polio. The device stimulated her breathing within only a minute and prevented her death. Because of contemporary medical inventions and the widespread eradication of polio, medical professionals no longer use the iron lung, but the device saved thousands of people during the 20th century.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39936854884430,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/LANCASTER-WOTD-2022-08-08-153_0482.jpg?v=1660149504","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-lancaster-153-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
