Hamilton watches offer the watch enthusiast an affordable entry into Swiss made mechanical timepieces. With roots back to 1892, the brand has a rich history in its production of military-style watches for the United States army during WWI and WWII. From the notorious Pulsar and Ventura styles, it is evident that Hamilton never shields away from pushing the creative limits of watchmaking. Hamilton is known for its close association with the world of movies, with over 500 major movie appearances and a stunning catalogue of milestone moments on the silver screen. In 1972, the company was purchased by Swatch Group and in 2003 Hamilton moved its headquarters and production facilities to the heart of watchmaking in Biel, Switzerland.
