This is truly an amazing find for any collector. There are a few on eBay offered at $800+ that do NOT run and NONE in this condition. Made in 1957 it was named for John Van Horn the head of R&D at Hamilton and billed as the worlds first electric watch. The solid 14k solid gold watch is in near perfect condition with almost no visible signs of wear. The dial is (I believe) original and nearly flawless. The movement is the Hamilton 500 and It was serviced by Jarrett Harkness at unwind in time who after Rene Rondeau retired is considered the expert in these watches who believed it was all original and said it was in amazing condition. The service alone was $365. Watch runs perfectly and keeps very good time for a 70 year old watch. I have included a lot of pics from almost every angle so buyers can appreciate the condition. Please only serious, qualified buyers. Watch will be shipped UPS 2 day, insured and signature required. You could search years and not find one on this condition that is running. A great investment for the collector.
