This breathtaking piece boasts an elegant dial with distinct golden numerals that glimmer handsomely against its cream-colored background. The front of the watch also features blued steel solid diamond kite hands and a convenient subdial. We complemented the pocket watch’s golden numerals by equipping it with our Gilded Titanium case and gold-plated crown. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the back of the watch, you can view its 912-grade open-face movement with a reed regulator, nickel finish, and bold, black inlay colors. Like the dial, the back of the watch features a distinct style with its black and golden details. Its gold-plated gears turn on 17 stunning screw-set jewels that reside within the movement’s ¾ plate. Finally, we topped the piece off with our artisan-designed Rye leather watch strap, making this American-made watch even more eye-catching. \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 produced this remarkable pocket watch in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1937 — the same year that John Steinbeck published his acclaimed novella Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck drew inspiration for the novella’s subject matter from working on a farm with migrant workers as a teenager. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginally, Steinbeck intended on titling the work Something That Happened, but he changed the title to reference Robert Burns’ poem To a Mouse, which features the iconic line “The best-laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men \/ Gang aft agley,” which people now usually quote as, “The best-laid schemes of mice and men often go awry.” \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40025795788878,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/LANCASTER-WOTD2022-09-12-165_1381.jpg?v=1663851014","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-lancaster-165-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
