The Hamilton story is a 120-year road that meanders from Lancaster
in the United States to Biel, Switzerland, the world capital of
watchmaking. Today, Hamilton is known worldwide thanks to its pioneering
role in the worlds of aviation, cinema, as well as electric and digital
technology. Hamilton watches have singular shapes that exhibit a
perfect pairing of personality and design, which combine American spirit
with Swiss ingenuity.
Hamilton was founded in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. Its first collection of pocket watches, the Broadway
Limited, was known as "The Watch of Railroad Accuracy."
In 1914,
Hamilton was further thrust onto the national scene when it was chosen
to be the official watch supplier of the U.S. Armed Forces. In the late
teens and early '20s, pioneer pilots of the era trusted the Hamilton
brand for its precision and accuracy and it became the official watch of
many airlines in the 1930s.
Hamilton watches could be seen on the
silver screen throughout the '60s and '70s, most notably a Hamilton
Ventura was worn by Elvis Presley in the film,
Blue Hawaii.
Today,
Hamilton watches are synonymous with iconic style, as they continue to
grace our lives through some of our favorite movies. Hamilton watches
can be seen in such films as
Men In Black,
Lethal Weapon 4,
Fight Club, and
Independence Day.
Hamilton is established as one of the leading watchmakers in the world
with a proven reputation for creating elegant and reliable timepieces.
