1892 - Founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1982, Hamilton transformed the American watch making industry and became a part of American history.
Hamilton produced its first watch in 1893, designed by H.J. Cain, one of the company's
founding members.2004 - Precision timekeeping above and below sea-level - with the new Hamilton khaki Navy GMT. The Hamilton Khaki Navy GMT diver's watch is by no means restricted to underwater timekeeping.
In additional to being water resistant to a depth of 200 meters (660 feet), the khaki Navy GMT is capable of measuring time in two different time zones on dry land.
A total of 24 cities on or near to the ocean are available for selection for a second time zone. The new Hamilton timepiece is the latest expression of an action-oriented and pioneering
tradition dating back almost 100 years.
In 1957, Hamilton Watch creates one of the most dramatic changes ever to watch design when it introduced the Hamilton Electric - the first electric watch.
This marked the beginning of the end for windup watches (although there are still a small number of high end watches that still require winding.) And in 1959, they developed the Venture, a sleek watch designed via
the inspiration of the Cadillac tailfins of the 1950s. This Hamilton watch rapidly becomes the in watch for the cool people of the 50s - even being chosen by
Elvis Presley as the watch he wore in his movie Blue Hawaii.
Continuing their tradition of innovation, the Pulsar is rolled out in 1972. This is the first of its kind digital
watch and was designed and manufactured in Hamilton Watch Pennsylvania headquarters. Since that time, Hamilton Watch designs have continued to be cutting edge and very desirable to own and collect.
Hamilton wrist watch collection have both Hamilton ladies watches and Hamilton mens watches.
