Update on Hamilton’s 2011 collection Khaki Pioneer
In my entry “Hamilton, mass-produced anachronisms“, I mentioned the new Khaki Pioneer seen at BaselWorld 2011. On close analysis, the watch revealed to be heavily inspired by early Hanhart FliegerUhren. The Khaki Conservation model (a.k.a Team Earth) was already unveiled last year by Hamilton, with the endorsement of actor Harrison Ford to support Team Earth. For a detailed description […]
Hamilton, mass-produced anachronisms
For the record, guess who in 2011 A.D. still runs a Website designed for Internet Explorer only?

Milan business partners Giorgio Lattuada and Emilio Fontana met success with their General Partnership company La.Fo.Ce., which is currently a distributor for prestige brand Graham. In 2001 they set on to create the brand T.C.M. Terra Cielo Mare (Earth Sky Sea), later dropping the accronym T.C.M. from the trade mark. Although they rely upon Swiss movements, […]
