With his pocket watch, Hamilton became a leader in accuracy and precision in watch manufacturing in the United States. The military sector, innovation and excellence The very first Hamilton wristwatches were produced for the military sector during the First World War. Later, as America entered World War II, Hamilton offered to produce watches and other timepieces for use in the war effort. Cinema Dream Hamilton was the first watch brand to appear on the big screen. After "Sea Frogs", Hamilton adorned Elvis Presley's wrist in "Blue Hawaii" in 1961. The watch used in the film was the famous Ventura, a watch that Elvis himself loved, owned and wore. After these two appearances, Hamilton has starred in over 400 films, among which some of the most famous are the "Men in Black" series, "Independence Day", the "Die Hard" series.

The company, founded in the United States and now established in Switzerland, is defined by its slogan: "American spirit, Swiss precision."
