link to this article came to me on a history of Hamilton watches that they'd done. Thought some of the watch afcionados might be interested.
Noticed because I always remember the one my Dad brought back from the war, and would handle it whenever we were out in the garage together and he'd open his old foot locker. The wonders that thing contained... He never wore the watch; I think he had a Timex on for a daily watch. Whew did they make a ton of timepieces during the war.
