Hamilton was a pioneer in the field of electrical watches. In 1957, Hamilton released the world’s first electrical battery-operated watch named the Ventura -- an asymmetrical triangle case that looks rugged. See its piece in detail through the Ventura Elvis80 Blackout. It became an instant hit and even more popular when Elvis Presley had it on the wrist for his musical comedy Blue Hawaii. The watch was picked because it matched the King of Rock and Roll’s character in the play.
It seems like this Swiss-based watch company never runs out of ideas. Following the Ventura, Hamilton built another first in the world of watches ⎯ a digital electronic watch ⎯ called the Pulsar. A futuristic look with its groundbreaking technology as in Hamilton American Classic PSR Digital Quartz Steel.
It turns out that the advanced design of Hamilton timepieces attracts Hollywood movies to use those watches as their props. Hamilton watches do have a vital role in the role of watches in the movies.
Back to the 1950s when Hamilton made its very first acting debut in the movie Frog Men, to the recent one, in 2018, where Liam Neeson wears a Hamilton for The Commuter. Not to forget to mention that the Hamilton watch company designed a special wristwatch for 2001: A Space Odyssey that was called the watch of the future.
After years of creating groundbreaking works ⎯ that pioneered the futuristic electrical and digital electronic watch production ⎯ Hamilton went back to making classic watches in the 1980s. The designs remind me of what Hamilton produced in the 1920s-1960s.
