The One and Only Best Book on Hamilton Electrics!

An engaging and very well written history of the Hamilton Electric watch, which is a fascinating story even if you are only mildly interested in collectible watches. You feel like you are taken back to the Lancaster, PA factory in the 1950's and get to see the watches develop. It was a time of American craftsmanship and pride. The second section of the book is a completely illustrated guide to every model of the electric line, from the January 1957 introduction of the dramatic "Ventura" and more conservatively styled "Van Horn", to the end of the line Nautilus series in the mid-60's. There is even information about watches that were never available except through the Hamilton corporate division, which do show up and confuse you once in a while. Invaluable information for anyone trying to identify a Hamilton Electric, and well worth the investment in your library.

A must if you own even one Hamilton Electric

If you collect Hamilton Electrics, or if you have some in you collection, you'll love this book. It even includes technical manuals for the two electric movements
