(Note - I have the gold-plated version with a tan band - but otherwise an identical watch.) There was a day - many years ago - when watchmaking was an art. It was an era when smaller was better - and state of the art was stylish but sensible. In my search for a demure, classic dress watch - I have looked at thousands of possibilities online that have all fallen short of the mark. The current trend seems to be big, large, presumptuous, gaudy, flashy - with a unsavory array of useless subdials, push buttons and adornments ........ all of which are just too hip-hop gansta' for my simple tastes. Literally, some of them look as large as nightstand alarm clocks - actually a bit clownish. The Hamilton Boulton really bucks today's convention and is a refreshing take on a Hamilton classic. Clean lines and a low profile keep it from hanging up your shirt sleeve. The lack of bells and whistles reflects a simple elegance of days long past. The watch is featherweight on the wrist - but a heavyweight in quality. If you are looking for a tasteful dress watch that won't overpower your wrist - the Hamilton Boulton might just be the watch you've been looking for.
