Hamilton electric wristwatch and components, 1958-248

Historical significance

• The museum records a complete electric watch, case, strap and spare battery, made in 1957. The exact exterior photograph shows an asymmetric gold-coloured watch on a leather strap; a separate catalogue part shows the movement and spare cell. The object is not identified here by an unverified model or calibre number.
• The parent accession covers two parts: 1958-248/1 is the complete watch, while 1958-248/2 is the movement and spare battery. These are associated components of one catalogue record, not two independent watches. A component photograph must retain that distinction.
• The catalogue lists leather, unidentified plastic, gold and unidentified metal. It gives overall and as-displayed dimensions separately. No gold fineness, battery voltage or present cell chemistry is established by the consulted description.
• Present operation, service history, battery condition and current public display have not been verified. The photograph is an identification view, not a condition report or an accuracy test.
