BIO
Founded in 1892 as an American firm, the Hamilton Watch Company ended American manufacture in 1969. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the Hamilton Watch Company eventually became integrated into the Swatch Group, the world''s largest watch manufacturing. The company was named after James Hamilton, son of Andrew Hamilton, a Scottish born attorney . During the expansion of the railroads in the U.S., Hamilton maintained over 56% of the market. The company manufactured wristwatches as the market switched from pocket watches to wristwatches after World Wa
...r I. During World War II, Hamilton retooled its business model to serve the military. The first watch made under the Hamilton name was an 18-size 17-jewel pocket watch in 1893. During World War II, production of consumer watches was stopped, with all watches manufactured being shipped to troops. More than one million watches were sent overseas.
