Interview with Sylvain Dolla - CEO of Hamilton Watch

IN LOVE WITH THE SILVER SCREEN

In today’s world of light-speed communication, one thing prevails and seems to be more popular than ever. Storytelling!

Who better to inspire, thrill and capture our imagination than the craftsmen in Hollywood? Hollywood is and will always be the heart of the movie industry. For over a century now, the endless talents that have performed on the Silver Screen still capture our imagination and dramatise our favourite tales and stories for children and seniors alike.

Even in the fine art of Swiss Watchmaking, the delightful craft of Storytelling is a crucial ingredient for making watches come alive. One brand, in particular, has been mastering this specific skill for more than 80 years.

500 MOVIES LATER

Hamilton Watch, the most American of watch brands, has a deep and rich history with Hollywood. Since 1932, the Hamilton watch has appeared in over 500 movies; with each timepiece reflecting the brand’s close relationship with Hollywood.
