Grail Watch...This watch has never been worn, it still has the crown wedge from the factory. This comes from an estate of a very discriminating collector. The Watch has the original band unworn, original box, tags,and the original battery. I have never seen one in this condition. I have seen a few labeled new old stock but never one truly unworn.Movement is 550A, it has a gold filled bezel. Hamilton Electric watch, first ever battery powered watch, American and Watchmaker history.The following in from Rene Rondeau Godfather of the Hamilton Electric Watch revival:The first company to successfully pursue the elusive dream of a battery-powered watch was the Hamilton Watch Company in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Research began in 1946, but it was to take more than ten years todevelop a viable watch. On January 3, 1957, Hamilton held a press conference to announce the "World's First Electric Watch." The idea of a watch which never needed winding was very exciting to 1950's consumers, who were captivated by progress and modernity. The Hamilton Electric was an instant hit. Its popularity was enhanced by the fact that Hamilton released a number of very dramatic case styles with non-traditional asymmetrical styling; they were visual reminders of the ultra-modern movements inside the case.
Today these watches are avidly sought by collectors, who appreciate the unique character of this pioneering invention. It is the grandfather of all battery-powered watches produced today, an important milestone in the history of watchmaking.
Model is Converta 2When its gone it's gone, somebody is going to add this to their collection, why not you.
