<strong>HAMILTON</strong><br />Sylvain Dolla, CEO of Hamilton International. "I believe both watches and films are involved in passionate craftsmanship. Film creates entertainment that moves people's passions, while watches are about creating items that evoke affection and dedication. In essence, they share a very similar spirit."
"For example, in '2001: A Space Odyssey,' director Stanley Kubrick commissioned Hamilton's team to design and develop a watch that would fit his vision. We often engage in such collaborations, and through these processes, Hamilton's creativity has been stimulated. Working with Hollywood creators allows us to gain new ideas and design inspiration," says Sylvain Dolla. From left: Director Stanley Kubrick; the "Stanley Kubrick Retrospective" exhibition was held concurrently at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA); a scene from "2001: A Space Odyssey."
"We want to continue launching watches that are as unique and distinctive as the Ventura. We aim to create surprising designs that truly resonate with those who appreciate them."
