I love Hamilton - I have 7 Hamilton watches and plan to acquire many more....(Jeff, if you ever tire of your panda dial Chronomatic w/original bracelet, please, please put me first on the list). And I love the design of this new piece, and I would love to own one of these. That being said....

The price point ($2k), the size (42mm) and the limited number to be produced make absolutely no sense.

Bringing the watch to market at $2,000 shows you that Hamilton is not marketing this to normal Hamilton watch buyers as Hamilton's normal average price point is just below $1,000 and producing only 1968 copies of the watch guarantees that Hamilton will not make a lot of money from this watch......which then begs the question; if its not for your average everyday Hamilton buyer, then who is it for?

Limited edition watches (and vintage inspired homages) are more often than not, marketed to passionate watch collectors, not everyday watch buyers, so why then size this (very beautiful, vintage inspired timepiece) at 42mm? Collectors and fans of the Chrono-Matic and "carrera-esque" Hamiltons from the 60s and early 70s certainly would want something between 38mm and 40mm (max) but 42mm? Thats big.

: It is big, but beautiful and I predict future versions to come from
: Hamilton in different colors, definitely getting one !!!!
