A dial from a good friend of mine, baked enamel dial for Hamilton 10 size, it's the only one out there.

Now to dig out a Hamilton 921 movement. Golden hands, blue hands? Decisions, decisions....

Blue hands, definitely. Gold would look out of place. And I want one!

Of course! Now to look for a blue seconds hand...I bet the grand feu master in USA would be surprised, namely RGM. I think this one was made in Eastern Europe, will try to find the source.

What length does the seconds hand need to be? I might just have something laying around...

Nice!

Are you mounting this dial on a wrist watch or a pocket watch?

I was a little wrong, it is a baked enamel dial. Petit feu then, no? ;)
