- Does the movie make the watch or the other way round? I love this thing for personal reasons which I explain - and you get to see glorious Castle Hill
I treated myself to this earlier this year, and it was actually my first Swiss mechanical. I absolutely love it. It's big and bold without being too big or too bold if that makes sense. Also, the movie resonated with me, the relationship with his daughter. I'm blessed with one too, and I hope to pick up the Murph for her.
all of this is exactly how I felt. Both about the watch, and the movie.
Amazing how watches become great stories :D
As I have got older I am less inclined to place value on watches based on their price. I've changed the collection so it now includes watches that are important to me. This is why I still have my trusty old SKX007 when Omegas, Tudors and Rolexs have come and gone. I have a huge soft spot for Hamilton despite their crappy lack of decent anti reflection and their propriatory changes to the ETA which means you have to get Hamilton to service them or even adjust them.
I'm ordering one of these. The combo of modern Fleiger B style dial, hugely practical 100m and it's not another flippn diver so it's a bit different. Stands out from the crowd.
I also like Hamilton as a brand because like Seiko, and maybe Bremont and Yema, heir position in the pecking order of Brand Knob Waving is a bit ambiguous probably because they are not a traditional Swiss company (although obviously they are now) their designs are very iconic, probably because of their huge movie presence. Something like 300 Hamiltons have appeared in Holly's movies over the years. As such when you see them especially over here on Britain they tend to be bought by people who are buying the watch rather than the brand, if that makes sense?
I have the same watch. This was my first swiss watch. I thought it was decent at first but over time I fell in love with it. Those metal minute markers look amazing when they catch the light. Great vid. Cheers!
thanks mate,, its a great watch isn't it.
Coop wore the watch in a few scenes, certainly adds some iconic.
All things considered, that movie made the Murph epic. The watch literally saved humanity with its second hand, gave hope to humanity when hope was lost. It bonded Murph and her dad bending the fabric of space-time. Then Murphy Cooper wore it over a century till her dying breath for the sake of sentiment.
That said, i love Flieglers and love symmetry. This day date is probably my favorite aviator style design by any watchmaker.
Nice watch, it's good to have watches that mean something to you. I think Hamiltons most iconic watch is actually the Khaki field Mechanical, the Murph watch (also in Interstellar) is pretty cool, as it was made for the film as a one off & then Hamilton decided to make it available for sale to the public due the amount of interest in it. The most iconic watch under £1k of the last couple of decades has got to be the Seiko SKX though!
I think a lot of people will agree with you on the field watch,,,
they are OVERPRICED!!!
Great value for money watch. I wear as my daily while working or if needing to go into the office and wear my other higher end pieces when going out on weekends, just great all around and glad to have a Hamilton in my collection.
Nice video, thanks! I went to try this on and when I saw it in the display case I thought oh dear, it’s too big. It looked so much bigger than my other 42mm watches. When I tried it on though, it was perfect. I am now obsessing over it! 😃 Cheers.
Glad I could help! - yeah the all dial can seem big can't it,,, such a cool watch though
I have this watch and I absolutely adore it over my more expensive watches. It's my everyday piece and I wear it on different nato straps. Interstellar being my favourite movie definitely helps aswell.
the movie does help for sure, amazing. The watch I also love big ime
Really love mine. The day/date feature is placed perfectly and is needed for my 75 y.o. brain. Very thoughtful design. The 3 generations of my family who worked in the Hamilton factory in Lancaster, Pa. would certainly be happy at the brand’s resurrection by the Swatch Group after the quartz crisis beset by the mechanical watch industry in the U.S.
I’ve had mine for a few weeks and my only complaint is the lume. I am about to try it on a parachute strap and see how she looks.
Great video as always mate, that Hamilton is awesome 👌🏻 also agree watches received as a gift mean so much more than the watches I buy myself, I have a Breitling Superocean and Nomos Which were gifted to me by my wife and kids and would never sell them as they are too special, and in a collection less really is more...look forward to your next video, all the Best. Lee (AKA 7Past10)
Hi lee,,, as I was reading the first half of the comment and the mention of the super ocean I was thinking of you.... thanks for making it clear, its appreciated as I can't always make the connection between YT AND IG.
Hi mate, love these watches I own a khaki mechanical field and the automatic version which is the bigger size but the wind up mechanical is 38 I think 🤔 I love that size. Great 👍🏻 video mate
cheers Marc appreciate that.
It’s a cool watch . But more importantly it’s so important because it’s a gift from your family . . Size is fine on a pilots watch it’s meant to big anyway . I agree you should . wear it more often the family connection is more important than brand names There’s all different reasons why we love certain watches whether it’s down to sheer quality or sentimental value we can love them equally .
the size is fine for me, just. its a great watch in my eyes and the story behind makes it very special, what I didn't mention is I have a child called Cooper as well - the film, a football player, and my favourite drink is stored in barrels made by a cooper!
I wear a different watch every day. I have twenty watches so an 80 hour power reserve is not only not nessary actually a disadvantage as I continues to run sitting in a drawer. 24 hours is plenty.
Gladiator top ten for sure! but I love Interstellar and most of Nolan's movies. The Prestige is under-rated classic, Memento is so weirdly great and of course Dunkerque...I've watched that like 7 times. But yeah this watch. Love the look; especially the way those numerals catch the light. very special.
late to this one mate, apologies. the prestige is a great film,,,, really loved it! its a great looking watch - I definitely should wear it more!
Wish i could wear this watch my small wrist it would be huge on me :( absolutely love that watch
Interstellar is top 5 fav movies for me.
mega isn't it
I have a rolex and panerai but I love this watch. 😍 I wear always this watch. Very very different, very special and very high quality feel. ❤️
Your presentation of the product is amazing. I really liked it. You are an artist
Thank you very much!!!!
Seiko arnie be like "am i a joke to you?!" 😂
It's nice but it's not leeds United nice , lol. But your right a smaller collection is defo the way to go.
I've got my down to 4 now. But I'd love to get down to 2 ideally.
Top vid Andrew👍I'm absolutely nuts about interstellar and to be honest this watch looks bloody awesome,open cashback day/date for that sort of money. Like the look of the murph aswell. Would defo consider adding both to the collection. Gona say it again interstellar is the rollocks ,what a film!!!👍👍
thanks mate,,, really appreciate that. The watch for me, is special and defo looks the business
For the money , you cant really argue mate. It's a well made piece, not my kind of style but were all different . As it's a gift from your wife , I would agree it's a keeper ..Never owned a Hamilton. But strangely enough , I've been really drawn recently to the Hamilton panda chronograph. Good video, well done Andrew . See the subs are over 2 thousand, keep it up mate
cheers John, late replying to this one, apologies.the panda is great looking. yeah its creeping up but seems very slow! I'm thinking of sliming down and selling speedy & BB58 to get one statement piece
@@watchandrew no bother mate👍 , do you have anything particular watch in mind
Castle Hill, we used to walk up that hill and have a meal in the pub that used to be there. I never did quite understand what happened there it used to a nice place.
From what I understand he/they knocked it down without planning permission and never got permission to build anything new, crazy, such a great but bloody windy spot!
@@watchandrew Yeah but some fantastic views from up there. I'm getting Yorkshire withdrawal symptoms again.
Amazing views,,, hope the beginning and end didn’t make you feel too sad 😆..... when was the last time you were here?
@@watchandrew It must have been the Christmas before lockdown; December 2019? We went to a footy game Town were at home to Forest a good friend of mine who lives in Darlington is a Nottingham Forst fan so we met up in the middle. I'm in South Lincs not too far from Newark!!!
I think about buying it, but I am on the fence😅 Is the crown digging in top of palm? Nice review!
Thank you 👍 and the crown has never dug in once for me
Lovely footage at the beginning mate
Cheers mate, appreciate that. Was hoping some one would notice 😆 took a special trip to castle hill for that!!
Beautiful but I have a 6.5 inch wrist what do you think?
Should fit you just fine 👍
@@watchandrew Thanks, I'm happy
Did it end up fitting you? I have a 6.65 inch wrist.@@Roberto-it9vv
Superb value to be had in Hamilton. This one is pretty cool. Too big for my taste though.
the size takes some getting used to
Give the people more Globemaster content
I just have done,,,,! go check it out..... just for you
Interstellar is a quality movie, do not go gentle into that good night ! Rage Rage against the dying of the light ....... 🤓. Cool watch, I have a Khaki King... one of my first mechanical watches.... maybe I can use mine to send you messages to Chronometer Corner via the Bookshelf
I'm very intrigued by the watch, but I didn't like the movie at all. It's actually the thing that's kept me from buying the watch, lol. Maybe I should give the movie another try.
Definitely give the movie another try!!! The music alone should be one reason ~ let me know if you try watch it again.
The movie wasn't bad. Top Sci-fi 2001 A Space Odyssey, then Aliens then Alien then Star Trek The Wrath of Khan. Interstellar in the top 100.
"wasn't bad" is a massive disservice! Alien franchises were great, the Star Trek movies with Chris Pine (new ones) are great also
@@watchandrew. The reboot of Star Trek is not that great. The original TV series is absolutely positively the greatest science fiction ever made.
@@derekshearer9049 TOS is great, I would say The Doomsday Machine is my favourite episode. Deep Space 9 is also very good
@@Andrew.W75. One of mine as well. I don't recognize your authority to relieve me.
It comes to my mind Bulova Moonwatch or Smiths Everest as more iconic watches under 1000€.
I thought peoples choices on that would be very different.....
@@watchandrew Those are not really my choices, just said they are icons. I liked the outdoor shooting!, interesting place. Cheers!!.
I have owned both the Everest and the Moon watch and still own an Everest Expedition 36mm.
The Bulova is a superb watch, probably my favourite all time quartz Chronograph. Bulova' s high frequency movement is awesomely accurate and the hand tracks super-smooth for a quartz. It looks so bloody cool and is great on a bracelet, leather or NATO. If you want an alternative to the Speedy which is ridiculously good value and affordable then the Lunar Pilot is brilliant.
The Smiths Everest. Iconic brand but the watch Eddie designed is far removed from the actual Smiths Deluxe that Hilary wore in Everest, it is highly influenced by the Rolex Explorer which of course Tensing wore on the 1953 ascent. However, it is a cracking watch, again brilliant value and a great one watch collection. Dealing with Timefactors and ordering can be challenging but it is worth the effort.
I own several of their watches and they are all beautifully made and great value. The Speedbird 3 is I think, a better watch than the ICW which costs nearly 15 times more. Especially in its earlier interactions when the bracelet was made by the chap from Damasko.
The bracelet is so shit but the watch is so good!
I think shit is a smidge harsh,,, but it definitely could be better 😆
Hamilton pieces,especially this one, are as underpriced and underrated as Rolex are overpriced and overrated.
Nice watch terrible movie.
