Hamilton
Biel/Bienne, Switzerland
Founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1892, Hamilton played a significant role as a supplier to the American railway system and the US military for many years. Now part of the Swatch Group, Hamilton manufactures its watches in Switzerland while staying true to its American design heritage. The brand also enjoys cult status thanks to its numerous appearances in Hollywood films, including the Oscar-winning Interstellar and Dune: Part Two. Notable collections include the rugged military-inspired Khaki Field; the Khaki Aviation, designed for pilots and aviation enthusiasts; and the Ventura, which was launched in 1957 with an electric movement and a futuristic triangular case. It has been a pop culture icon ever since Elvis Presley famously wore it.
