In a move that will please Indiana Jones fans a new venture by Harrison Ford and Hamilton watches has been announced. If you have seen any Hollywood action movie from the Fantastic Four to Daredevil the United States watchmaker Hamilton has placed its precision watches around the arm of many a star of Hollywood.
Any cinema-goer with even a passing interest in action films will have in their movie-going lives seen a few of the eye-catching H-branded watches come into shot.
The watch trade is as guilty as the soft beverage industry and the major fashion houses in splashing out loads of money on opportunities for the placement of products.
But few Hamilton rivals will have enjoyed quite as much screen time as Hamilton watches. Hollywood movies as different as 2001: Space Odyssey, Lethal Weapon and the Spiderman movie have displayed Hamilton watches as props.
But this year the group has taken its relationship with the movie business a step further by giving the legendary big screen hero the ultimate challenge – to save the world. The actor Harrison Ford has now set down his whip after what is thought to be the last Indiana Jones film to take up his newest challenge – tackling threats to the environment. Ford spent nearly 2 decades as a key figure at not-for-profit global body Conservation International.
In view of this – and its ties with Hollywood – Hamilton Watches has put its cash where its 116-year-old mouth is to produce the Khaki Conservation line.
Instead of New York or London, the range’s second time zone function refers to areas on earth where saving a dying habitat is important like Indonesia.
The actors global appeal among movie enthusiasts is not lost on the Hamilton marketers, who boast “a touch of edgy dynamism” and features which adhere to “every heroic stunt’s” need on exactitude.
Meanwhile, the watch – designed in part by Ford – comes with a plush leather strap and is rounded off with a Harrison Ford signature and logo of Conservation International.
Hamilton has made a financial commitment to aid the conservation cause and uses recycled packaging.
Perhaps more interestingly for film buffs, the striking watch, featuring bold characters set against a black backdrop is evocative of the world of adventure inhabited by Indiana Jones.
Those who relished Indiana Jones battles against mysterious tribesmen and Nazi villains will feel rapport by choosing the Hamilton Khaki Conservation.
Fortunately people interested in watches need not travel on a Jones-style hunt to find a Hamilton watch.
It is available online at the Hamilton official site, although it is worth searching the internet for a more competitive price. Sites such as hotwatches.co.uk also supply the limited edition model and other Hamilton watches.
