Truly rare American made pocket watch in this auction. This is the Hamilton ‘Hayden Wheeler’ Private Label Pocket Watch in Open Face with 21 jewels. The Hayden Wheeler has long been coveted as one of the rarest productions by Hamilton where in open face with 21 jewels there was 1,196 ever made. These watches were special ordered by Hayden Wheeler and made particular to this model only, the watch was not part of standard Hamilton production. It was made to the highest order by Hamilton, with 21 ruby jewels set in solid gold settings, gold wheel train, gold balance screws, and beautifully executed wavy damaskeening throughout. The dials were either blank in the original Hayden Wheeler contract productions or later signed with ‘Hamilton’ or other private jobber names after the original contract expired. This particular example has a great double sunk Hamilton dial. The 14K case has the Hayden Wheeler hallmark inside the dustcover as well.
