I thought it would be a good idea to have one mega thread for all things Hamilton. This would be a great spot for us to discuss Hamilton watches and if you have questions post away and I’ll do my best to help. I’ll also post when new models arrive in the store!
First of all, a little history of major milestones for Hamilton:
1892: The Hamilton brand is formed in Lancaster Pennsylvania
1900’s: At the turn of the century, all railroad employees were issued a Hamilton watches
1930’s: Official watch of American airlines, TWA, United and Northwest
1940’s: The beginning of the ‘Khaki’ saga. Hamilton becomes the official watch supplier of the US army
1970: Hamilton launches the PULSAR watch, the world’s first LED digital watch
2003: The production and headquarters of Hamilton watches are moved to Beil in Switzerland where all Hamilton watches are now SWISS MADE
Present: Hamilton is the leading brand for automatic watches ranging from $500-$2500
Being a part of the SWATCH group of companies, Hamilton uses the ultra-reliable ETA and Valjoux movements. The vast majority of Hamilton watches are automatics and almost every watch features scratch resistant sapphire crystal.
