Because Hamilton watches are intrinsically linked to the world of cinema, with which the manufacturer shares a great bond.
Their different variations have been seen hundreds of times on the wrists of the biggest stars, in a long list of cult films.
Each collaboration is born from a relationship of trust forged between the watchmaker and the director of the film, but also his costume designer or props.

Interstellar

The Circle of Missing Poets

The Talented Mr. Ripley
,
Pearl Harbor
,
Tenet

Interstellar.
