The story
Hamilton was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1892, beginning with pocket watches built on a foundation of quality and accuracy. The precision of Hamilton's pocket watches earned them the title "The Watch of Railroad Accuracy" during the early, accident-prone days of American rail travel. The brand later shifted from pocket watches to military wristwatches during WWI, became a key wartime supplier of timepieces to the U.S. Armed Forces in WWII, and pioneered the first electric watch (the Ventura, 1957) — designed by Richard Arbib and later worn by Elvis Presley.
