At H1912 we are committed to the beauty, value and restoration of vintage watches and jewelry. We believe in the value and the unique design of the past. Each piece you purchase with us has a history and story to be told.
Every item is checked by our in-house team of watch and jewelry experts, trained gemologists and watchmakers who authenticate each piece.
We test metal types, authenticate brand stamps, and evaluate the quality, color and authenticity of any gemstone or diamond.
We then work with each piece to restore its original design and aesthetic, polishing, replacing stones, replacing watch batteries and more.
We then issue our Certificate of Quality & Authenticity, which ensures the piece is authentic and that the quality is guaranteed. See a sample Certificate

Our History
H1912 is part of the Hamilton Jewelers Family of Brands with over 100 years of expertise in craftsmanship, design, service and community trust.
Founded in Trenton, New Jersey, Hamilton Jewelers was established in 1912, when a legacy of tradition and service began. Irving Siegel, a former errand boy for a similar store, stocked simple items such as silver dresser sets and cigarette lighters, as well as finery ranging from diamonds to pocket watches. Siegel began with one other employee, his wife Alice. Together, they built a rapidly growing business, working every day through the depression to establish themselves in the community.
At H1912 we believe in giving back to our community as part of the Hamilton Family of brands we have a long tradition of charity and giving. Each Month H1912 will donate a % of sales to a charity working within our community.
Authenticity & Quality Guaranteed
Each pre-owned piece is inspected by our expert jewelers and includes a Certificate of Quality and Authenticity.
