Any idea how Hamilton came up with the name Berkshire? Bulova also has a 1950s watch called the Berkshire, but is round in design.
The industrial look or this Hamilton and the Bulova certainly have something in common.

Very nice! I'm wondering who made the case. I've never seen that trademark before. Regards, Brad

Case maker is Jonell; that's their mark - the J with the arrow - both outside and inside the case back. The company also made some other great cases, such as the Altair, mostly in the 1950's.
