{"title":"Hamilton","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFounded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1892, Hamilton is the most storied of America's watchmakers—built first on railroad accuracy, then proven on the wrists of US servicemen through both World Wars. Its postwar advertising leaned into that heritage even as the brand looked forward, culminating in the 1957 Ventura, the world's first battery-powered electric watch. With its Atomic Age arrowhead case by Richard Arbib and its \"watch of the future\" pitch, the Ventura became a mid-century design icon—later immortalized on Elvis in Blue Hawaii.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis collection gathers those vintage Hamilton prints, from the railroad and military heritage pieces to the space-age Electric line.
