1922 Hamilton Model 900 Pocket Watch

[Spartan2009]

We were in Colorado Springs when my wife and I stepped into an estate jewelry store. This pocket watch caught my eye. I researched it for a few days and on the last of the trip I decided to buy it. My wife actually got it for me. It’s an original 1922 Hamilton model 900 pocket watch in a solid 14k gold case. On the back it had an engraving that I initially did not pay much attention to at first. I recently had the watch service and I took an interest in the graving. The watch belonged to a former West Point cadet and retired brigadier general Paul Paschal. I still can’t believe this watch was almost scrapped for gold. It brings me a lot of joy to look at it and wear it. Thought some folks might appreciate this watch here as well.

Awesome! My uncle has an old Hamilton Railroad that I may see someday (probably needs a service though).
