Taking old movements and giving them a new life. It was great interacting with Brendan who converted my 1948 Hamilton pocket watch movement in to a new case.
The one with the double hour hand is pretty epic 👌🏻🙌🏻
From their site " the split-tip hour hand, originally designed as a traveler’s watch. Because this particular piece is fitted with a railroad dial, this configuration is often referred to as a railroad dual time, allowing the wearer to easily track a second time zone while maintaining the clarity of a traditional railroad dial."
