This one is odd looking.

The case appears to be a "Thinline 2040" (1971), although the catalog does not show a diamond dial option. Then again, this was Hamilton's lowest point and the catalog doesn't even show prices or information on case metal....

Mr. Hansen, I was under the impression that I was the first buyer of the Elgin (Ogden) movement you recently posted...instead it went to someone who wanted to repair it and donate it to the museum. Was I that wrong?

Dear Mr. Weiss,

I appreciated you sending me the photo of the "Hamilton Cushion". You are certainly correct that this is indeed a cushion shape, but I was thrown by the modern look. I was anticipating one of the early Hamilton "Cushion" models, and I couldn't identify this model. I emailed Rene privately, but my computer skills let me down, and I was unable to send him the images you sent to me. Consequently I posted the photo's here so that Rene could look at them and offer his thoughts about this watch. I specifically was seeking the name or model number.

As for the Elgin watch movement, I suspect that was an item listed by Fred Hansen.

I'm William.

Fred's taller, better looking, and a real expert on pocket watches. I suspect somewhere generations ago there is a family connection..

Could you send me your email address...I have a HAMILTON-ILLINOIS, could be from when Hamilton took over the Illinois plant.

I have photos.

TOO late!

I did a little detective work and put 2 and 3 together and came up with your email address. Thanks!
