Company Profile: Hamilton
The year was 1918 when Hamilton’s watches were chosen to be the official timekeepers of the first U.S. Airmail flights between Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York. The milestones since then have been regular and significant, and in 1926 a Hamilton watch timed the first flight to the North Pole. In the 1930s, their reputation for producing aviation watches led to Hamilton becoming the official watch of the four major airlines of the United States at that time, and they were selected as the timekeeper for the first nonstop, coast-to-coast service from New York to San Francisco. Since then, Hamilton has developed and maintained partnerships with military squadrons, air rescue services, demonstration teams and aerobatic pilots around the world.
