The best way to carry your Hamilton is on a “T” chain, with the watch resting in your vest pocket. But whatever style of chain or fob you wear, the main point to consider is that you carry your watch in a secure pocket, where it will not be knocked every time you move.
See that your watch pocket is free from dirt and lint – and keep it so. Avoid opening the back of the case. If you must open it let it be done in a place where there is no dirt or moisture.
If there is anything the matter with your timekeeper, don’t try to put it in order yourself – take it straight to your jeweler. All jewelers know the Hamilton, and if one of the tiny parts is broken he can replace it with a genuine replica of it. All Hamiltons are standardized, so insist on having repairs made with genuine Hamilton material.
It is better, too, to have your jeweler set and regulate your watch. He charges nothing for this service and is glad to render it.
You can get the best results by winding your watch at the same time every day, preferably in the morning. By so doing you prepare your watch for the jolts of daytime use.
Your watch is better of in your pocket at night than under the pillow. In fact, if it holds the same position it had in daytime, the pocket is the best place for it. Your watch will then be in “12 up” position, and in a far safer place than under the pillow, where it is always in danger of being dropped to the floor.
Ask your jeweler to look at your Hamilton about every eighteen months (wrist watches about once in every nine months) as it should be cleaned and oiled at least once in that time. If possible, go to the jeweler who sold you your Hamilton for he is always interested in its performance.
The jeweler who sells Hamiltons expects to give Hamilton service.
He will gladly adjust the watch to your personal habits and see that it keeps time for you in a satisfactory manner.
The guarantee made by the Hamilton Watch Company is also made by the jeweler from whom you purchase, and this guarantee is the broadest possible one that can be made. It is nothing less than complete satisfaction to you. Select the model of your choice from the following catalog pages. Then go to your jeweler and tell him your choice is such and such a Hamilton – the watch whose record for service is universally known – the watch that is justly considered as peerless among the fine timekeepers of the world.
