The consensus among collectors is that the “Putnam” is Hamilton’s most Art Deco wristwatch design in all its history, which keeps it in high demand among collectors today. This example is in excellent condition with light brassing to the highpoints of the lugs. Caseback is very good with almost no wear at all. Case measures 34mm long and 28mm wide. Original dial is nicely and honestly worn, has solid 18K gold applied numerals. Has new crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Hamilton grade 987-F manual wind movement and running strong and keeping good time. This watch also features a slightly later Hamilton band and buckle but still a very nice addition to the watch
