Famous Hamilton watch wearers

Rod Serling can be seen wearing his Ventura many times in his hosting spots on the Twilight Zone...Elvis also wore a Ventura in Blue Hawaii (it was his personal watch...).

Thanks for these pics, Nathan. Some I have seen before, but the Rod Serling one, in particular, is higher res than usual and really shows off the details of the watch. And his teeth.

In the movie North by Northwest the actor Martin Landau, who plays the character Leonard, is clearly wearing a Viscount.

The list of Hamiltons seen in movies is quite short. I guess to remember Fred Ward wore a Piping Rock in the 1991 movie "Cast a Deadly Spell". But I'm not sure.

I seen this movie a few days ago and it was seeing the watch, a piper rock, that sparked my interest in Hamilton watches. Here’s a screenshot of the watch at 12 o’clock when the scene is set. Startling in its simplicity. I believe there was a few reissues of the watch. Does anyone now which one this is?


The movie. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101550/

Pretty sure that's a quartz reissue with a missing crown, LOL.

It’s the re-issue of the Hamilton Piping Rock done in the 1980’s
