Gents Hamilton “Perry” Wrist Watch, 1931

1920 - 1940
Description

Gents Hamilton “Perry” wrist watch, 1931.

The watch has 17-jewel hand-winding movement, calibre 987-F, which is working nicely. The movement is signed Hamilton Watch Co and it has the serial number 4262696 which dates it back to 1931.

The watch measures 27mm wide excluding the winding crown and 30mm high excluding the lugs. The case is 14k white gold filled and it is in good condition, just a little scratching to the top bevelled edge of the case back. The back of the watch has an inscription, ‘J E Keltner, Columbus, O’… Mr Keltner was treasurer of the Ohio Farm Bureau

The lens has light marking, almost like a light grade, but it is not too noticeable to the naked eye.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

A handsome later leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

FAQs

Art Deco wristwatches from the 1930s are recognised by geometric case shapes, bold typography, and architectural detailing. American watchmakers like Hamilton produced tonneau and rectangular cases that reflected the eras modern aesthetic.

During this era, watch cases were commonly crafted from solid gold or gold-filled metal alloy, paired with acrylic crystals and enamel or painted metal dials. Straps were traditionally made from genuine leather, such as calfskin or reptile skin.

Authentic Hamilton wristwatches feature clean maker markings on the dial and movement, along with serial numbers and model names engraved inside the case back. Mechanical hand-wound movements from this period display high-grade finishing and jewelled bearings.

A vintage 1930s dress watch adds a refined historic element to both formal tailoring and casual smart wear. Its compact proportions and warm gold tones complement tailored suits, crisp shirts, and neutral leather accessories.

To preserve a vintage mechanical watch, keep it away from water, moisture, and strong magnetic fields. Regular servicing by a professional horologist every three to five years ensures the movement remains lubricated and functional.
