What makes the Lancaster 181 unique: We’re pleased to present this luxurious and splendid watch that was initially manufactured by the Hamilton Watch Company almost a century ago — the Lancaster 181. This remarkable antique boasts a paper-white dial with striking golden details, including its gold-colored center, numerals, and minute indicators. The front of the watch also displays a stunning “Hamilton” inscription, a useful subdial, and blued-steel diamond kite watch hands. We complemented this piece’s sumptuous-looking golden details by pairing it with our gold-plated crown, and we installed the pocket watch within our stylish Sandblasted Titanium case. Our Sandblasted Titanium case features an exhibition-style open back that displays the pocket watch’s 916-grade open-face movement with a nickel finish, pendant setting, and ¾ plate. The rear side of the watch continues showcasing its opulent-looking design with golden engravings that convey the pocket watch’s heritage, such as “Hamilton Watch Co.” and “Lancaster, PA,” and it boasts gold-plated gears as well as 17 eye-catching jewels. Finally, we tied this marvelous piece together by equipping it with our comfortable Cordovan leather watch strap.

The Hamilton Watch Company initially released this pocket watch in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1924 — the same year that acclaimed American poet Robert Frost won his Pulitzer Prize with his poetry collection New Hampshire: A Poem with Notes and Grace Notes. Some of Frost’s most famous works from the collection include “Fire and Ice,” “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Frost went on to win three more Pulitzers for his poem collections Collected Poems, A Further Range, and A Witness Tree.
