Today we celebrate the birthday of the unforgettable Elvis Presley, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, a global icon whose legacy goes far beyond music.
Elvis Presley
With his legendary crooning voice, electrifying performances and inimitable style, Elvis Presley redefined style and edginess, leaving an indelible mark on popular culture. And among the emblematic elements of his style, the watch Hamilton Ventura occupies a place of choice.
Launched in 1957, the Ventura was much more than just a timepiece: it marked a revolution in the history of watchmaking. The world’s first electric watch, it was distinguished by its bold triangular shield-shaped design, a futuristic aesthetic that perfectly reflected Elvis’ avant-gardism. Faithful to his taste for innovation and singularity, The King adopted the Ventura as a natural extension of his image. He carried it with panache both in his daily life and on the big screen. The appearance of the Ventura in the cult film Blue Hawaii not only cemented its iconic status but also sealed its role in fashion and pop culture history.
Hamilton: a legacy of innovation
Founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the Hamilton brand quickly established itself as a key player in watchmaking. First recognized for its precision in the railway and military fields, Hamilton then distinguished itself by its innovative spirit and avant-garde style. For several decades, the brand has been closely linked to the world of cinema, its watches being present in more than 500 Hollywood productions, most recently with the Dune saga.
Indeed, with the epic universe of Dune, Hamilton, famous for his daring creations and his involvement in cinema, unveils an exceptional collaboration with the film Dune: Part Twodirected by Denis Villeneuve. Inspired by the captivating world of Arrakis, this collection of limited watches embodies the innovation, boldness and futuristic aesthetic that define both Hamilton and the saga Dune.
