LET ME GIVE YOU A BIT OF HISTORY ABOUT THE HAMILTON WATCH COMPANY.  THE COMPANY WAS ESTABLISHED IN LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA IN 1892,  THE COMPANY BECAME VERY WELL KNOWN FOR IT'S PRODUCTION OF RAILROAD- ACCURACY POCKET WATCHES.  THE COMPANY WAS VERY ACTIVE IN WORLD WAR I PRODUCING MILITARY STYLE WATCHES.  HAMILTON HAS BEEN CALLED BY MANY AS THE PATEK PHILIPPE OF AMERICA, BUT THAT COMPANY SHOULD BE FLATTERED TO BE KNOWN AS THE HAMILTON OF EUROPE.  IN THE LATE 1950'S HAMILTON RE-INVENTED THE WRISTWATCH WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF IT'S ELECTRIC MOVEMENT AND HIGHLY STYLIZED CASES, ONE OF WHICH WAS THE VENTURA, WHICH WAS WORN BY FILM PERSONALITIES SUCH AS RICHARD BURTON AND ELVIS PRESLEY.
