This watch features a lightly-speckled dial with an intricate circular design surrounded by stylish black numerals. You can also see its blued-steel diamond kite watch hands that are notably eye-catching against the piece’s cream-colored background, and the dial also features a matching subdial. We complemented this sophisticated pocket watch by encasing it within our sleek Gunmetal Titanium case and topped it off with a nickel-plated crown. On the back of the watch, you can see the pocket watch’s antique 912-grade open-face movement with a Reed regulator, pendant setting, and nickel finish. The watch back also boasts sumptuous-looking gold-plated gears and 17 jewels throughout its ¾ plate. Finally, we made the final product even more stylish and extraordinary with our hand-crafted Olive leather watch strap. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Hamilton Watch Company originally produced our Lancaster 175’s pocket watch in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1928, which was the same year that an important acquisition occurred in the automotive world — the Chrysler Corporation purchased Dodge. Horace Elgin and John Francis Dodge originally opened the automotive company’s doors in 1900 as the Dodge Brothers Company, and it was merely a machining shop that supplied parts for Detroit car manufacturers. The company began manufacturing and selling full vehicles in 1914 with the Dodge Model 30-35 touring car. By 1920, Dodge was the second most successful American automobile manufacturer, but tragically both Dodge Brothers died that year — John died of pneumonia and Horace died of liver cirrhosis — and the company quickly lost its impressive rank in car sales. The Dodge Brothers’ widows sold the company to Dillon, Read \u0026amp; Co — acquired by UBS in 1998 — but the investment bank sold the company to Chrysler three years later after unsatisfactory sales continued. \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44150179266861,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/LANCASTER-WOTD2022-12-05-175_2468.jpg?v=1670866447","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-lancaster-175-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
