Hampton/Dewar

Post by atkin68 »

Anybody recognize these marks on this movement? Came out of a Hampton. Running nicely.

I can’t seem to stop buying pocket watches hunting for cool movements. It is becoming a problem.

As The Who once put it:

It’s running in the family.“

Hampton reminds me of a possible fake, some were made in Europe as a connection to old American watches - I think of Hampden.

Thanks @yoda . I've seen both names also and had to keep double-checking the dial to remember which this one was. Definitely reads Hampton. It seems Timor still exists but only made pocket watches for a brief period in an attempt to survive the quarts crisis.
