This is a "vault find" watch, it has been locked up for nearly 50 years, which means it needs a service. We will give it a factory quality service by our finest watchmaker as part of the purchase price before it is shipped out to you. This will delay shipping for a few days of course.
LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT
This is a watch we never see in this condition, with everything, including the original strap in good condition. The dial, hands and crown are also original. It is also still fitted with its original "compression bars" to hold the strap on. While typically a watch would have a spring bar, this watch has a pin going through it with a tube holding it in place. Hamden was one of the few companies doing this.
While it appears to have an original period strap and buckle the strap is to fragile to actually wear every day.. We have fitted it with a modern genuine lizard strap using the original buckle.
You will never see a finer example of an American Vintage Wrist Watch than this one.
Dueber-Hampden Watch Company History
In 1930, the Dueber-Hampden Watch Company sold its factory and assets to the Soviet Union. The sale was part of a larger effort by the Soviet Union to acquire American industrial technology. The Dueber-Hampden Watch Company was one of the leading watch manufacturers in the United States, and its technology was considered to be among the most advanced in the world. The sale of the factory and assets to the Soviet Union gave the Soviet Union access to this technology, which it could use to improve its own watchmaking industry.
The sale of the Dueber-Hampden Watch Company to the Soviet Union was controversial at the time. Some people argued that it was a mistake to sell such a valuable asset to a foreign country. Others argued that the sale was necessary to help the Soviet Union improve its own watchmaking industry. The sale of the factory and assets to the Soviet Union had a significant impact on the Dueber-Hampden Watch Company. The company eventually went out of business, and its employees were laid off. The sale of the factory and assets to the Soviet Union also had a significant impact on the American watchmaking industry. The Soviet Union's acquisition of American technology helped it to improve its own watchmaking industry, and this competition from the Soviet Union made it more difficult for American watchmakers to compete.
