Hamilton is a Swiss brand with American style. The brand is based in Bienne, Switzerland, placing it close to many other well respected Swiss watch brands. Hamilton incorporates a traditional American style into its Swiss timepieces.

Many of Hamilton’s watches have been worn by characters in major Hollywood films. The brand has even created models specifically for films. This makes Hamilton an incredibly desirable brand. Many people opt for these watches so that they can feel closer to their favorite film stars and characters. The brand initially grew to great fame as Elvis Presley was often seen wearing a Hamilton watch. Hamilton still makes these models today.

A mechanical movement is a micromechanical high precision instrument that takes its energy from a mainspring which is placed in the movement barrel. This mainspring is charged either by an oscillating weight that winds the watch mainspring as you move (automatic) or by hand (manual winding). Quartz movements take their energy from a battery and a synthetic quartz regulates them.

The accuracy of a watch depends on the movement and the individual habits of the owner and can therefore vary. A qualified HAMILTON watchmaker can set the accuracy of a watch within the set tolerance. Most watches that do not have a chronometer certificate have an average course deviation of -10/+15 seconds per day. To be called a Chronometer, the mechanical watch mechanism must have an average course deviation of -4/+6 seconds per day.

All Hamilton quartz movements are produced in accordance with Hamilton's typically high quality standards and manufacturing methods. Environmental temperatures can affect the accuracy of quartz movements, leading to deviations of -0.5 to +0.7 seconds per day.
