Hamilton 14K White Gold Diamond Cocktail Watch – 1920s Art Deco Elegance

A breathtaking example of early American watchmaking, this 1920s Hamilton ladies’ cocktail watch embodies the glamour and refinement of the Art Deco era. Crafted in solid 14K white gold, the watch features clusters of sparkling diamonds totaling approximately 0.60 carats, arranged in sculpted floral and leaf motifs above and below the bezel—an iconic design language of the late 1920s through early 1930s.

The petite 14mm round face showcases original Deco-style triangular hour markers and a faceted crystal, adding dimensional brilliance and vintage charm. Paired with its black braided cord bracelet and safety chain, this heirloom piece offers both delicacy and timeless sophistication.

Hamilton, founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, became one of the most respected American watchmakers, especially admired for its precision hand-wound movements during the early 20th century. Ladies’ diamond cocktail watches like this one were highly fashionable in the late 1920s, worn as jewelry as much as timepieces—symbolizing elegance, femininity, and modern style.
