What makes the Lancaster 156 unique: Today, we are thrilled to bring you another stunning timepiece initially created in 1930 by the Hamilton Watch Co. in Lancaster, PA — the Lancaster 156. This historical watch features a patinated cream-colored face accompanied by stylized black Monrocq Freres numerals. The purple-tinted diamond kite-shaped hands also add to the watch’s gorgeous antique display. We encased this movement in our machined titanium case and topped it off with a gold-plated crown to further highlight the hues of the face. As you turn the watch over, you can view the glimmering machined nickel ¾ plate and matching outer gears through our unique clear-backed case. This magnificent 912-grade movement also showcases 17 gleaming screw-set jewels and stunning gilded inner gears. Additionally, this watch features a double roller and reed regulator. To complement this watch’s gorgeous antique movement and machined titanium finish, we added our comfortable olive strap.
In January of 1930, the same year that the Hamilton Watch Co. produced this stunning timepiece, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow met for the first time at Clarence Clay’s house. The crime spree of this infamous duo lasted for four years and led to one of the most iconic manhunts in American history. Bonnie and Clyde’s rap sheet included multiple prison breaks, robberies, and murders across Texas and Louisiana. Their wild ride ended abruptly in 1934 as Texas Rangers and Louisiana State Police ambushed them along a highway in Sailes, Louisiana. The posse opened fire on Bonnie and Clyde as they approached in an automobile — killing them instantly.
