posted September 22, 2008 11:03
As a thank you for use of the forum, I'll give a free NOS 18mm Kreisler black shark watch strap (shipping included) to the SECOND person to post the answer to this question:

What watch company made the "Piping Rock" wristwatch?

The 2nd person to post the reply here will receive the watchband free of charge. Thanks, and have fun, Scott Allison

Boy, I'm going to take a guess.... Hamilton made it...! These were made during their Art Deco period...

According to Cooksy Shugart the "Piping Rock" was made in 1928 and 1948. What I don't understand is why Shugart gives the 1948 white gold "piping Rock" three stars and none for the yellow gold version? I would say the yellow version should at least rate a star for collectability.
