A distinctive vintage Hilton mechanical alarm watch featuring a dual crown configuration, Swiss 17 jewel movement, and beautifully textured silver dial. Alarm watches represent one of the more interesting complications from the mid century era, combining traditional timekeeping with a fully mechanical alarm function powered by the movement itself.
The dial features applied gold tone markers, Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9, a recessed center track, and period markings highlighting its Incabloc shock protection, antimagnetic construction, and unbreakable mainspring. The second crown operates the alarm system, giving the watch its distinctive vintage character.
