Hamilton watches have an interesting history that dates back to 1892, when the Hamilton Watch Company was first founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The first Hamilton watches were produced in 1893, and were carefully crafted and designed by H.J. Cain, a founding member of the Hamilton Watch Company. The first line of watches introduced to America were "The Broadway Limited" and quickly became known as "the watch of Railroad accuracy." Interestingly enough, Hamilton watches were originally manufactured to provide America's railroads with reliable timing devices.

The Hamilton Watch Company has always been well in touch with the American spirit and lifestyle, and clearly distinguished itself as a leader in watch design when Hamilton introduced the Hamilton Yankee Watch in 1928, when the Yankees won the world series. As the 1930's came along, Hamilton watches soon became the official timepiece of the most famous commercial aviation leaders: TWA, Eastern, United and Northwest. In an effort to support America during WWII, Hamilton watches created an exclusive line of Hamilton military watches, which were made exclusively for military use during the War.

Hamilton watches soon became the popular choice among many American icons in the 1960s. One popular Hamilton watch design was the Hamilton Ventura Watch, a watch which Elvis Presley choose to wear in the hit movie "Blue Hawaii." Even more important is the fact that Hamilton watches have been at the forefront of the watch industry. Evidence of this fact can been seen in numerous Hamilton watch innovations. Some of the more noteworthy Hamilton watch technologies include: the development of a revolutionary temperature-compensating hairspring alloy which results in a much more improved time-keeping accuracy, the introduction of the world's first electronic watch in 1952, and the introduction of the Pulsar, the world's first digital watch.

Hamilton watches of today are probably most famous for their uniquely redesigned styles, which go beyond the traditional circular shape of the norm, and feature such shapes as the square, asymmetrical, and triangular cases. The Hamilton watch company has also became known for producing fashionable, stylish timepieces for women. Today's line of Hamilton watches include the American Classics Collection (uniquely-shaped watches) and the Khaki collection. New versions of their famous military watches are also available, as well as incredibly durable Hamilton sport watches for men and women, which have been strategically designed to withstand the enormous pressure of deep-sea diving and provide very precise accuracy and performance under the most extreme of conditions.
