Hamilton watches are ingenious, famous and renowned for American style and Swiss technology. The brand is known for the top performance standards and Swiss made calibres. Hamilton make automatic, mechanical and quartz watches in male and female types. With a notoriety for design and famous heritage, their watches are among the most recognisable on the planet.  

Having made a name for themselves with accuracy and ruggedness from early on, the Hamilton creators began to think originally. Using new names and unique designs, specially made movements to special features, Hamilton’s story is bursting with watches that have gotten legendary, iconic names among enthusiasts, lovers and critics alike.   

The start of the Hamilton Ventura story was in 1950s America. This was an era of rebellion, evolution and chance. The globe came out of many years of conflict and harsh financial times, there was then room for growth, wealth and the start of a youthful new culture that teens jumped upon. Part of this thing was a new type of music, referred to as Rock and Roll, that would change the entire globe as it mixed lots of different looks to create a distinctive image – that continues to influence creators now.  

Hamilton discovered a way to make the shield case in stainless steel with a crown in this strange triangular shape, to evolve in a way to change the leather strap and metal bracelet and to add what made the Ventura a real hit.  

Indeed, this was the first electric watch of all time. Running on a battery, the Ventura’s electrical elements made it a watch that had an instant impact and one that changed the world of horology.  

Yet, what kept Ventura at the top of the public’s zeitgeist was its looks, four years later, on the wrist of world music star Elvis Presley in his 1961 musical comedy, ‘Blue Hawaii’. With a truly special talent that pushed him to stardom, Elvis was the superstar of the Rock and Roll era whose impact made a generation see him as a cultural star.  

Like Elvis and his friends mixed many styles of music, Hamilton used a unique blend of complex design, watchmaking history, accuracy and creativity to make the iconic Ventura, the world’s first electric wrist watch.  

In the end, the Hamilton Ventura is an American icon that collectors, enthusiasts and experts alike all agree is a legendary timepiece. With its unique triangular look, electric power system and historical significance, the Ventura simply has to go down as one of the most unique American watches ever made.
