“Hamilton originally produced the 986 and 986A for pendant watches – a style of pocket watch with the winding staff at the top of the timepiece. Railroad watch standards required the winding stem to rest at the 12 o’clock position to protect the setting. The 986 like the 987 had a 6/0 size 17 jewel movement. Hamilton produced approximately 90,000 watches using 986/986A movements. Hamilton deployed the movement from 1922 to 1926.”
