Hamilton has revived its American Classic Cushion collection, bringing back a design that debuted a century ago with the Cushion Plain and Cushion Engraved models of 1926.

The six-watch lineup comes in 30mm and 34mm sizes, including steel and yellow-gold-tone PVD cases, with finishes ranging from sandblasted textures to enamel-style and sunray dials.

I may or may not have worn it three different ways in three different days.

Even celebrities know the value of a good cardigan, but this one, this one takes the cake.
