I have always had a thing for old watches. There is something about the character of an old watch that just defines "Old School Cool" for me. I've just thought it was so much cooler to discover a beautiful old watch than to just walk into a store and buy a new one. There is a strength in knowing how old they are and seeing them faithfully keep perfect time. There is a magic in thinking of the life that this watch had before it came into your hands. And there is a beauty in knowing that some things just never go out of style.

When I was growing up, my dad never splurged on anything. His focus was on taking care of us kids.  But the one thing that he loved was a great watch. I think I inherited that from him.  As Blade + Blue is really a 'Thank - You' letter to my father for all that he taught us about being men, I couldn't be more excited and proud than to share this collection of beautiful found watches with you.  

So, the last time I found a Hamilton 'Khaki' I swore I would keep it for myself. But this time, I really mean it! If no one takes this sweet one off my hands in the first few days, I will take it as a sign that I am supposed to keep it!

He really is a great looking watch - an uber-masculine, military-inspired look but he can easily polish up any outfit.

This is a Hamilton 'Khaki' military watch in excellent condition. The black face is marked by the military time keepers & date stamp in white. 

I sometimes replace the watch bands since they don't often hold up as well over time. But there was something kind of perfect about this beautiful shade of navy that I thought no matter what I found, the 'spirit' wouldn't be as cool.

The stainless steel case measures 1.5" across and is marked with Hamilton Watch Co., Lancaster PA on the back. This guy comes from their Field Watch Collection. 

You have asked for more pics of the watches on the arm, you can check me out trying to wear the watch and take the picture at the same time!

This watch has been serviced and keeps great time and date.

This watch does not require winding but runs on battery power.
