Hamilton 1928 Tonneau Engraved
The Tonneau was produced from 1927 through 1932, it was one of the early geometric models (like the Cushion, Barrel, Square, etc.) named because of it's shape. "In the late 1920's many of Hamilton watches were called 'geometrics' where the models were named based on their shape."
This STUNNING timepiece is a Hamilton Tonneau Engraved wristwatch dated from 1928. It is a manual wind watch featuring Hamilton's 17 jewels, 6/0 sized, grade 987 movement, sub second.
After 95 years, it still has a immaculate tonneau case and fancy lugs design, beautiful engraved case and bezel. The top and bottom of the case is curved and the sides are flat. All 14K white gold filled.
This watch still has an almost perfect silver aged and luminous dial, black enamel dialed and Arabic Numerals and matching hands. You still can see that the dial is signed with Hamilton name.
It is coming with a brand new black leather strap. This watch is in good condition, it is a very attractive looking watch, good sized and wears very well on the wrist. Runs very well and keeps great time! Just SERVICED!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm (some larger, some smaller) wide excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also somewhat smaller than today’s offerings in many cases. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust light, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.
See all the photos, feel free to ask questions if you have any.
It will be carefully packed.
