Woohoo, I'm on a roll finding pocket watches in my attic! ;)
In another box I found this Hamilton 17 Jewels Pocket Watch. And it runs!
Still can't seem to find much information on this specific model, seems there's so many variations! Does anyone know anything about this, like, when was it made?
If I read the serial number right on the movement 814792 this is a description:
