Presented is a post WW II HAMILTON Model 22 Deck Chronometer Watch that was sold after the end of World War II. Numerous clocks were declared surplus at the end of the War and sold at government sales to collectors and jewelry stores which were eager to purchase these elegant and high quality time pieces. Recognizing a continuing demand, Hamilton reissued this model clock without the military stamping on the bottom of the case, but used movements that they had left over from the War. In the days before quartz movements, jewelry stores had these clocks on display in their windows so passers by could check the time. This is one of these versions, but it is still prized as a memento of the War and for the amazing accuracy of its mechanical movement. DIMENSIONS: 6 IN
