Is it really a Hamilton? Until the late 1960s, all Hamiltons are marked clearly on the dial with the word “Hamilton.” In the late 60s and thereafter, a few models reduced the brand mark to the Hamilton “H” logo, but the mark still always appeared on the dial.

Founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Hamilton was a watchmaker during the early 1900s that helped to shape the way American railroads adhered to a method of accurate timekeeping. The company was founded in 1892 but began creating pocket watches that helped to minimise the number of railroad accidents happening in 1912.

Founded in 1892 as an American firm, the Hamilton Watch Company ended American manufacture in 1969. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the Hamilton Watch Company eventually became integrated into the Swatch Group, the world's largest watch manufacturing and marketing conglomerate.

Hamilton use high-quality movements This means that the movements that Hamilton uses in its watches are Swiss made. Swiss-made watches and movements are often considered to be some of the most luxurious and precise in the industry.
