Hamilton - Hamilton Goes Behind the Scenes of Hollywood
Hamilton Watch Company has enjoyed more than sixty years of screen success -starting with the 1951 Oscar-nominated movie, The Frogmen, wherein the brand equipped the naval divers in the movies with Hamilton watches - much as it had during World War II. Since then Hamilton watches have appeared in more than 400 movies.
In fact, Elvis Presley wore the now iconic Ventura watch in the 1961 film, Blue Hawaii. In recent years Hamilton appeared in such hits as 2001 A Space Odyssey, Men in Black and the newly released A Good Day to Die Hard where its Khaki X-Patrol and Jazzmaster watches adorn the wrists of Bruce Willis as John McClane and on Jai Courtney, McClane's estranged son.
This long relationship with Hollywood led Hamilton to interact closely with the stylists, prop-masters and other behind-the-scenes people, and thereby to create and sponsor the annual Behind the Camera Awards, wherein the brand honors the hard work of the talented individuals who work magic behind the scenes.
In November, the brand presented the 7th annual Behind the Camera Awards at the Ebell in Hollywood with a star-studded Red Carpet presenter list. Presenters included actor and Grammy Award winner singer/songwriter Lenny Kravitz, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated actor Bruce Dern, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated actor Casey Affleck, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated director, screenwriter and producer Jason Reitman, Academy Award nominated actress Amy Adams, and award-winning actress Zoe Saldana. Actress Elisabeth Rohm of NBC's Law & Order is hosting the awards ceremony.
