What do you get when you cross a historical, American-made pocketwatch with a clock made for military aircraft? You’re reading about it right now. The 801 Aircraft, from RGM, the Lancaster County-based watch company owned by watchmaker Roland Murphy, is a past-meets-present creation that completes a unique clock-pocketwatch-wristwatch timekeeping trifecta. The dial and hands were inspired by a clock developed jointly by Elgin and Hamilton during the 1940s for use in military aircraft. Today, the clock is known by the unromantic alphanumeric designation AN 5741-1. The 801 Aircraft’s movement is styled after the one used in an E. Howard pocketwatch produced in 1915. Today, both clock and pocketwatch are collectors’ items. Will the lovechild delivered by Dr. Murphy have the same staying power? Let’s find out.http://www.watchtime.com/reviews/home-grown-testing-the-rgm-801-aircraft/?utm_source=WatchTime+Daily+Update&utm_campaign=7d578bf77b-WT+Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8338768216-7d578bf77b-14531153&mc_cid=7d578bf77b&mc_eid=1436559a32
