Note: Just a nit to pick since the data error does not
relate directly to the watch. Per the M. Chamelin
book on Bunn Sp., The total production of Model
14, 23 J, Type III, non elinvar, between 1924 and
1930 was 11190. After that time Hamilton began to
have the movements marked with a 16n designator.
These are generally discussed as different
variants of the Bunn Sp.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. This is true. The information table above lists the total estimated production of all Model 14 Bunn Specials and does not account for the nuanced variations.
