HAMILTON BOOKS

Hamilton Field Guide book cover

My book that will be available on Amazon starting July 7, 2025 I wrote to help collectors and fans identify vintage non-electric Hamilton men's wrist watches produced from 1917 - 1969. It contains 464 pages with 974 models, a foreword by René Rondeau. It also has new models, new information, new images, higher resolution images, and more details on specific models than has been published in the past.
