Founded in 1892, Hamilton knew how to establish itself as the benchmark brand in the world of cinema, the army, and American aviation from the start of the 20th century. The first Hamilton wristwatches were worn by General Pershing and his troops who were fighting in the trenches in Europe in 1917. In the 1920s, Hamilton obtained the prestigious title of official supplier to the United States military. During the Second World War, nearly 10,000 Hamilton marine chronometers found themselves at the heart of the battle, notably during Operation Overlord in Normandy, for D-Day and H-Hour in 1944. Hamilton has also held a close relationship with Hollywood since the 1950s. Hamilton products first appeared in 1951 in "The Frogmen" which was nominated for an Academy Award. In 1961, Elvis Presley wears the legendary Ventura in the film "Blue Hawaii". Since then, the extraordinary relationship between Hamilton and the cinema continues with roles in more than 300 films including Men in Black, Fight Club, Independence Day, etc. This is how American spirit meets Swiss precision. Something to accessorize your wrist without breaking the bank.
