Christopher Nolan and Hamilton made a bronze watch fit for The Odyssey
Hamilton and Christopher Nolan team up again, with a bronze field watch for timed for the debut of The Odyssey.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Here's a first for a company that's spent decades sticking its watches into movies: this one was built for a film it can never actually appear in. That's the twist on the Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition, Hamilton's latest team-up with Christopher Nolan tied to his upcoming epic The Odyssey (in theaters July 17).

Since the film is set in the Bronze Age, it's pretty unlikely that anybody was wearing a wristwatch. For us in the modern age, though, the new watch's 42mm case is bronze (it'll develop its own patina over time). The black dial looks like Odysseus's helmet; there are a pair of sword-shaped hands in bronze, and the 12 o'clock index is modeled on a rivet from the scabbard. You get the idea. Meanwhile, the titanium case back is engraved with the helmet and Nolan's signature.

VERO Watches drops a watch reminding you forest fire prevention is all you
VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies sends 10% of proceeds to prevent forest fires
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

VERO Watches is built to find the man who embraces his lineage. I am not talking about his nationality. I am not talking about his race or his heritage. I am talking about the lineage that brought us from the caves and the frontier to the more civilized and modernized world we recognize today. These are watches for explorers. These are watches for the man who ditches the cubicle and the office. The boardroom is a prison for our adventurous spirit, and VERO figured that out and is creating watches to help the man disappear from that existence to reclaim his place in the wilderness. Now that the dramatic part is over, I can tell you about the new drop featuring one of our favorite characters from our childhood, Smokey the Bear. The new VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies is set up to remind all of us of one single truth.

Preventing forest fires is your responsibility
