Back story
Hamilton's 1930s platinum "jobber" watches were luxury Art Deco pieces made during the Depression, featuring sleek designs, precious metals (platinum/gold), innovative movements and often co-branded dials for jewelers, representing a pinnacle of American watchmaking for the wealthy amidst economic hardship. These weren't typical mass-market watches but special orders, showcasing Hamilton's quality and ability to cater to sophisticated tastes with smaller, stylish cases.
* The "Jobber" Context: "Jobber" watches, especially in platinum or gold, were often made for specific jewelers (jobbers/dealers) or as special commissions, meaning lower production numbers and higher exclusivity, making them rare today. Please note The photo of the assorted watches just serves as a reference to the original watches of the 1930s not the one being listed here. Thank you very much.
