My blast from the past (an almost 80 years old lady) - Hamilton "Otis" Reverso
When I discovered this Hamilton "Otis" few years ago, it was a true surprise, for me, for that... This Hamilton is a true "Reverso" as they made (with the LeCoultre agreement), between 1938 and 1941, only for the American market (they were not allowed to ...
Very nice - looking good for a near 80 year old.
Do you manage to wear it much? Thanks for sharing JML
I'll be on the lookout for one . . .
. . . during my periodic pawn shop forays. An identical example would be irresistible. Art
I hope you will find one (I have a preference for the one with the black dial as you saw).
They are not so rare but that\'s not so easy to find one in good condition and, more importantly, without any engraving on the back side. Best wishes Alkiro
Very cool piece :)
Those license agreements are a fascinating feature of any business and the result is certainly charming - adding variety and spice - for the Reverso collector who has it all!
Absolutely my friend ;-)
At least this one is not too hard to find. As I told to Art, the main problem is to find one without any engraving on the back. Best wishes Alkiro
Such a nice watch from the past
Fwiw patek also made 12 examples of the reverso model One is in the museum J
I cannot imagine how it could be hard to find one of the last remaining 11 of these PP Reverso.
Any pic? Best wishes Alkiro
You could buy the entire Hamilton Otis production of 1938-1941 for that price :-)))
Thank you for the pic. Best wishes Alkiro
Very, very nice, Alkiro!
Lovely watch! My first generation Reverso with Tavannes movement inside says hello! Best Blomman ...
So coooolllll (and I love the background too!)
Thank you for sharing ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
The background is a postcard of the manufacture....
Thank you, my friend. The background is a postcard of the manufacture. Unfortunately there is no year on the card. Best Blomman ...
Hats a beauty, Alkiro
And thanks for posting the catalog photos too. You have saved me a bit of time digging around on the internet to find out more. I am smitten with the watch. I WANT ONE TOO
Thank you for your kind words Sir. Really cool if I convinced at least one Purist with this watch :-)
I particularly love one thing about this watch: When someone looks at your wrist and tells you that your Jaeger Reverso is really nice. Then, you can develop and explain the full story ;-) I hope you will find one quickly. The main problem IMHO is to find...
Thanks, Alkiro
Will do some digging around after work today. Yes, I can see why everyone thinks it\'s Reverso. They are definitely twins
Thanks
You have reinvigorated my interest in a Corum coin watch also! You are dangerous man, Alkiro! ;-) Have a great weekend also
LOL I hope I will give you a lot of timepieces temptations in the future ;-)
Do not hesitate to tempt me from your side ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
