CUSTOM HAMILTON WATCH FEATURED IN CHRISTOPHER NOLAN’S NEW SCI-FI ACTION SPECTACLE TENET
Hamilton luxury watch engineers, in collaboration with the design team from Christopher Nolan’s new film, TENET, have produced a custom-made watch with unique features that only Hamilton was trusted to bring to life.
Hamilton’s latest Hollywood partnership – and their biggest one yet – demanded a watch with features that did not currently exist in a commercially available Hamilton watch. Accepting the challenge, Hamilton-Rado committed to merging creativity with craftsmanship to produce this key movie prop..
The 18-month preparation included technical development, testing and production at the Swatch Group’s lab in Switzerland where watch engineers found a way to combine the needed technology with the display on the dial of our Khaki Navy BeLOWZERO. To meet filming needs, they produced dozens of the final prop watches and Hamilton watchmakers were on the movie set to offer support with the watch’s unique functions.
BeLOWZERO SPECIAL EDITION
For Hamilton, the creative process didn’t stop there. The Khaki Navy BeLOWZERO served as the base for the wristwatch featured in TENET, but since the watch was only made for the film, we decided to celebrate the collaboration with an inspired-by special edition.
Cased in lightweight titanium, this special edition features a blue or red-tipped second hand as a reference to key colors in the movie. Each color version will be limited to 888 pieces, the number chosen as a nod to the movie title, which is also a palindrome, something that reads the same backwards and forwards.
Special packaging created by TENET production designer Nathan Crowley features colors inspired by design elements in the film.
“I’m always impressed by Hamilton’s dedication to excellence and their willingness to think outside the box to create timepieces that do so much more than tell time,” says Nathan Crowley.
