The Lancaster 162’s pocket watch movement features a cream-colored dial with stylized black numerals. The gorgeous front display also presents blued steel arrow hands and a subdial. We encased this magnificent pocket watch within our Blued Titanium case and added a gold-plated crown. Our contemporary additions to this antique piece make the final product even more stylish and unforgettable. On the back, you can view the pocket watch’s original 912-grade open-face movement with a nickel finish, black inlay color, and pendant setting. You can also see its sumptuous gold-plated gears and 17 screw-set jewels throughout its ¾ plate. To finish the piece off, we equipped it with our hand-crafted Merlot leather watch strap and a solid bronze machined buckle. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Hamilton Watch Company initially manufactured the Lancaster 162’s pocket watch in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1936 — the first year that Billboard magazine released its first music hit parade list, today that list is known as the Billboard charts, such as the Billboard Hot 100 and Global 200. Although people now know Billboard for its music lists and articles, the magazine actually started as a publication for those working in advertising and bill postings in 1894. The magazine was originally called Billboard Advertising. During the Great Depression, the jukebox industry grew, leading Billboard to advertise the machine and focus progressively more on the music industry. Through the 20th century, Billboard became more focused on music and eventually phased out its coverage of other topics.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40005128028238,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2022-11-30-9918.jpg?v=1669854331","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-lancaster-162-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
