What makes the Lancaster 179 unique: Today, we’re delighted to showcase this luxurious watch that was originally built by the Hamilton Watch Company in 1930 — the Lancaster 179. The front of this breathtaking piece boasts a soft-gold-colored dial with patinated gold numerals and a glimmering subdial. The dial also features even more opulent details with its rich, violet-colored diamond kite watch hands. We complemented the pocket watch’s sumptuous style by encasing it within our beautiful and robust Gilded Titanium case and equipped it with a gold-plated crown. In addition to high-quality protection and style, our Gilded Titanium case also features a transparent back, allowing you to view the pocket watch’s antique 912-grade open-face movement with gold-plated gears and 17 remarkable screw-set jewels. The piece also boasts a ¾ plate, Reed regulator, nickel finish, and pendant setting. To top the piece off, we paired it with our hand-crafted Cordovan Oxblood leather watch strap, making this one-of-a-kind piece of American-made luxury comfortably wearable.

The Hamilton Watch Company initially released the pocket watch in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1930 — the same year that Colonel Harland Sanders opened the first Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. Colonel Sanders originally named his restaurant Sanders Court & Café, and he first sold his food out of a Shell filling station that he purchased in North Corbin, Kentucky. 22 years later, Colonel Sanders began franchising, and he first franchised the recipe to Pete Harman in South Salt Lake, Utah. Harman hired a sign painter named Don Anderson for his Sanders Court & Café location, and Anderson came up with the name “Kentucky Fried Chicken.” Today, KFC is the second largest restaurant chain in the world after Mcdonald's and has 22,621 locations across the globe.
