Hamilton watches are directly linked to the heritage of America. Devoted to timekeeping accuracy, the Hamilton watch became known as the "watch of railroad accuracy" in the year of 1890, a symbol of precision and dependability. Hamilton was also closely associated with timepieces for the military and commercial aviation. The styling innovation of the Hamilton watch has made it a fashion watch today. |
