The Hamilton Watch
Company was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1892 by the purchase of the
Lancaster Watch Company. Its first series of pocket watches, the Broadway
Limited, was known as the "Watch of Railroad Accuracy," and Hamilton became
popular by making accurate railroad watches.
In the
1910s, Hamilton began its long-standing tradition of supplying the
United States Military with wristwatches, the first going to General
John J. Pershing’s troops in Europe during World War I. During World War
II, consumer production of watches was stopped, with all watches
manufactured being shipped to troops, and more than one million watches
were sent overseas. In 1957, Hamilton introduced the world's first
battery-powered watch, and on May 6, 1970, the world's first digital
watch. Since then, Hamilton has grown increasingly popular, with several
of its timepieces being featured in movies like
Men in Black and
Into the Blue.
The
original factory closed in 1969. The Hamilton brand is currently owned
by The Swatch Group Ltd. |

Hamilton
watches combine style and accuracy to a perfect level. Today, each
Hamilton timepiece incorporates the spirit of the brand’s American
heritage and the precision of state-of-the-art Swiss watch movements.
Hamilton
collection has two main components. The American Classic watches (Lady
Hamilton, Pocket Watch, Boulton, Ventura, Benton, Brooke, Dodson, Lloyd,
Trent...) center on elegance, with a touch of nostalgia for the golden
age of Hollywood and the moody beats of jazz. In contrast, the Khaki
models (Field Mechanical, Field Auto-Chrono, X-Wind Automatic,
Multi-Touch, Field Quartz, Aviation, Eto...) are ready for adventure
with their sporty, high-tech look. Hamilton always has made watches for
individuals. The watches are equipped to keep track of the fast-moving
pace of life today, and designed to keep the contemporary wearer looking
great. |
