Hamilton’s long tradition symbolizes the evolution of timekeeping in the United States since 1892. With a history stretching back over a hundred years, Hamilton is one of the best-known American brands. In its early years, Hamilton was known as the company that manufactured «the watch of railroad accuracy». Later, the first pilots of the US airmail service wore Hamilton watches while flying.
During the Second World War, the brand became the principal supplier of watches to the US armed forces, producing over a million items for military use. After the war, the renaissance in commercial production was marked in 1957 by the revolutionary launch of the world's first battery-powered watch, the Ventura. In 1972, Hamilton again amazed the world by creating the first watch with a digital display.
The wide range and varied styles of Hamilton watches have provided a valuable resource for Hollywood stylists and costume designers. As well as being worn by numerous actors during filming, the brand is also famous today for its «Behind the Camera Awards», which honor backstage artists on film sets in Los Angeles.
