Very scarce Hamilton “Meadowbrook” men’s Streamline Moderne design wristwatch in solid 14K white gold, circa 1931.
Perhaps the most urbane and sophisticated watch Hamilton ever produced, the “Meadowbrook” was named for the exclusive Meadow Brook Club on Long Island. The Meadow Brook was a hunt, polo, and golf club which counted Theodore Roosevelt among its members and which also happened to be located just a few miles from another club which had a Hamilton watch named for it... the Piping Rock Club. The watch has a very elegant cushion-shaped bezel set on a gently curved case. The “Meadowbrook” was priced to consumers at $100.00 in 1931, and a mere 2,020 examples were produced in 14K white gold. This example is in excellent condition showing only very light wear. Caseback is excellent, with a 1931 presentation engraving. The case measures 35mm long and 28mm wide. Aged inlaid enamel exploding numeral dial is very good. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 19-jewel Hamilton grade 979 adjusted movement.
