1957-1960.
Featured here is a beautiful Hamilton masterpiece electric watch called the Van Horn made of 14K solid yellow gold with a rare and not seen 12 diamond dial with pearled track on a white sterling silver dial. This was a presentation watch for a quarter century of service and what a gift it was! The timepiece has been wonderfully preserved with only light scratches on the back cover. The bezel looks sharp and the dial remains in pristine condition with a crisp and clean pearled track. The slightly aged dauphine style hands are true to form and the 12 diamonds make a bold statement on this luxurious wristwatch. Beneath the dial is a Hamilton electric 500 movement with a fresh battery installed. The inside back cover reads: Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA., 14K GOLD, S045586, S&W. The watch measures approximately 34.6mm wide x 43mm in overall length. The Van Horn along with the Ventura were the worlds first "Electric" watches made. The Van Horn was named after the inventor of the watch, John Van Horn. The watch was released to the world on January 3, 1957.
