Offered here is a distinguished Hamilton Ardmore, housed in a 14K natural gold rectangular case with a beautifully preserved mirror-lapped finish. The original dial features elegant applied 18K gold markers, creating a timeless Art Deco aesthetic that has made the Ardmore one of Hamilton's most desirable dress watches. Inside is the correct 19-jewel Hamilton Grade 982 hand-wound movement. Recently serviced, it has been tested over a 24-hour period, is keeping excellent time, and winds and sets smoothly. The watch has also been fitted with a new glass crystal. The case measures approximately 22mm wide by 39mm from lug tip to lug tip and is accompanied by an original Hamilton strap and matching 14K gold Hamilton buckle. Adding an extra layer of historical significance, this watch is believed to have been presented to its original owner, John Winston Mayo, upon his graduation from Dartmouth College as a member of the Class of 1935. Provenance of this nature is rarely encountered and offers a fascinating glimpse into the watch's early history, making this Ardmore more than just an exceptional timepiece.
