The history of Hamilton’s association with cinema dates back to 1932, in the blockbuster “Shanghai Express”. Captain Harvey (played by Clive Brook), meets the flame of his childhood love, Lily (played by Marlene Dietrich) on the balcony of a train, he accidentally reveals the evidence of love through a bronze wristwatch. On the watch’s case is a picture of Lily as a youngster, making her realize he still holds on to the memento she gave him long ago, and that his love hasn’t changed since then.

That scene is the turning point for the famous movie, and the Art Deco watch plays the key role, clearly engraved on the dial with the words “HAMILTON”.

Founded in 1892 in Lancaster, a state of the United States and merged into the Swiss watch group Swatch Group in 1974, Hamilton proudly carries “two bloodlines”, with the slogan “American spirit – Swiss precision”.

Since then, the brand has remained steadfast on the path of perfecting the watch industry to reach the heights, contributing to the key moments for Hollywood blockbusters. To do that is a huge production process, and Hamilton is proud to have contributed to the creative process of a huge team from director, screenwriter to actors.

Each watch is created as a result of many months of studying scripts and character personalities, to perfect great products that both fulfill the role of a watch and play the role on the hand. main characters. Although the work is difficult and requires twice the normal effort, it is perseverance, perseverance and passion for cinema that has helped Hamilton conquer all challenges and become a prestigious watch brand for more than 500 Hollywood movies over the past 80 years.

Many of them have become icons, shining with the success of movie blockbusters such as “Men in Black”, “Independence Day: Resurgence”, “The Avengers”, “Interstellar”, “Tenet”. …

When “Men in Black” was released in 1997, the film caused a “trend” with scenes of hunting and chasing alien criminals. The policemen have a well-groomed look thanks to their simple yet elegant uniforms, with the highlight being a Ventura watch that helps determine the perfect time to complete tasks. The film’s unusual setting calls for an equally unusual watch. Thus, Ventura was born with an extremely design – a triangular dial and a Modern Mid-Century design, combined with a battery-powered and sports chronograph numeral. As the watch of the “monsters”, to this day, after three movies of “Men in Black”, this watch is still a sought-after icon around the world.

In 2014, when master director Christopher Nolan’s “Interstella” lures people into a world of parallel time dimensions, the story of time travel is turned upside down and the split between Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) ), a former NASA engineer and pilot, and his daughter baffled audiences. Between those divides of space and time, there exists only one thing that keeps the two of them in touch and connected – the Hamilton Khaki Field Murph watch.

With a modern and sturdy look crafted from stainless steel and sapphire glass, this watch is a symbol of the steadfastness and iron spirit of the early 20th century pilots. At the same time, the set The automatic movement with up to 80 hours of power reserve and the 42mm size create the perfect power to take on any challenge these pilots face. In 2019, a new version of Khaki Field Murph was born to please “Interstellar” lovers around the world.

Creative, adventurous and precise. That’s what pilots need in a watch and it’s also what saved the life of pilot Jake Morrison (played by Liam Hemsworth) in the movie “Independence Day: Resurgence”. Faced with the apocalypse, Jake fearlessly plunges with dangerous aliens, using his airship marksmanship, iron spirit and will, and his watch. Khaki X-Wind acts as an effective assistant to help him master the flight routes. This is the first watch with the ability to calculate the angle of deviation, helping pilots to accurately determine the extent of the influence of the wind, in addition to the technical design and automatic movement that is highly applicable to the aircraft pilots.
