Hamilton Watch Company: A Story of Success and Innovation

The Hamilton Watch Company was founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. As early as 1914, the company achieved the prestigious recognition of being the official supplier to the US military. Among the most famous models are the Piping Rock and the Yankee of 1928, which consolidated Hamilton's leadership in the American style of the time.

During World War II, Hamilton focused on producing watches for the military, supplying one million timepieces, becoming famous for its air force. In 1957, Hamilton introduced the world's first electric watch, the Ventura, a revolutionary technology in an innovative design.

In 1961, Elvis Presley wore his Hamilton Ventura in the film "Blue Hawaii". Riding the wave of success, Stanley Kubrick turned to Hamilton for the film "A Space Odyssey".

In the 1990s, Hamilton solidified his connection with Hollywood, appearing in action films such as "Men in Black", "Lethal Weapon 4", "Fight Club", "Independence Day", "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and many others.

Since 2003, Hamilton has been acquired by the Swatch Group, moving production from its US headquarters to Biel, Switzerland. Since then, the American Classic and Khaki models have been crafted with Swiss precision and craftsmanship.
