Hamilton Pocket Watch Conversion

 
 By: JMan : October 24th, 2024-20:44
Folks:

I just recd my 1948 Hamilton Pocket watch converted to a wrist watch. Brendan @ Frett Clockworks did an outstanding job in a short time. I really love the fluted case which works well with this dial. The hinged lugs are really well manufactured. And that cal 917 shines through the case back. What do you think? New life for a pocket watch that mostly saw the inside of a safe for too long.
Here are some shots.....

I saw many pocket watch conversions. This is not easily done in a way that look good! The way the case is attached to the strap works really well! Congrats❣️👌🏻😃
What is the size of the watch?

Thanks. 43mm case.

A great way to enjoy the watch in a whole new way.

Yes. That was the main thing for me. I bought the pocket watch because of the dial.

Feels like this could have been the original watch!
