Taking off: crafting iconic pilot watches
The 20th century heralded the start of an intriguing era in aviation history trail blazed by pioneering aviators such as the Wright Brothers, Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. With the development of practical aircraft and the introduction of the U.S. Airmail system, keeping time was incredibly important as pilots navigated the skies from coast to coast and across the Atlantic. Thus, a pioneer of pilot’s watches joined aviators on board for this remarkable new journey, and Hamilton watches became synonymous with keeping aviators on a precise schedule.
The years spanning World War I and World War II saw tremendous advancements in aviation technology. Quaint biplanes formed of wood made way for sleek, high-powered metallic aircraft that defied gravity as they soared to new heights. As a robust commercial aviation industry grew worldwide, so did the need for accurate timekeeping.
Hamilton has journeyed with jetsetters for over a century, developing and innovating timepieces for pilots, high-flyers and adventurers. Hamilton’s abundant and modern pilot watch collection includes automatic and chronograph watches to suit every taste and style.
