Gorgeous watch Jim, thanks for sharing! This is the watch that started me collecting asymmetrical Hamilton watches. I love art deco but it's based on symmetry (and cubist geometry), so this watch is anything but art deco, in fact it was intended to be the antithesis of it. Maybe a more accurate description might be "mid-century modern" , a design trend that was a reaction to the staid and orderly designs of the art deco movement of the 20s, 30s & 40s. If you like this style, check out the Hamilton K-475 and the Electric models Altair, Vega and Meteor - you will love them!
