>>Hamilton - New ladies’ timepieces for 2010

Hamilton has always known what women want. Already in 1908, the American brand introduced its first wristwatches in response to the fact that female fashion of the era did not embrace waistcoats with pockets suitable for carrying watches. Hamilton has remained closely in touch with its feminine side ever since - and equally true to its rejection of the rumor that ladies like to be “fashionably late”. Its contemporary ladies’ timepieces combine beauty and reliability without a trace of contradiction, harmoniously morphing yesterday into today.
