Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic and Intra-Matic // Perfect Watches under 1000 € / USD (Review)

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic and the Hamilton Intra-Matic are the topics in this video. Both wristwatches represent a good first watch for beginners, or an affordable watch under 1000 Euros or US-Dollars as an addition for your almost advanced collection.
I show you every feature of these watches. We go over cases, movements, design and more.
Whilst the Hamilton Viewmatic can serve as an all purpose watch, the Intra-Matic is a pure dress watch for more formal occasions. They show the spectrum of the brand Hamilton.

Hamilton is a wonderful watch brand. Beautiful designs, great Swiss movements, fantastic history and heritage, along with one of the best quality to price propositions. I really love what they're doing.

The Hamilton Intra-matic especially the one with the grey smoked dial is absolutely stunning

My great great grandfather received a gold Hamilton pocket watch on a gold chain when he retired from the railroad. I still have it in the safe, and that piece of American history is what I think of when I think of Hamilton. An Eastern European immigrant coming to Chicago with nothing and ending up with that beautiful time piece. It's more than a timepiece. Hamilton is middle class Americana.

Bravo to Hamilton - and Bravo to you for standing up for real style, taste and value.

I lent my dad - not a watch person - a Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart for a month shortly after I bought it and he liked it so much he bought it from me. He gets more compliments on his Hamilton than I do with my more expensive "enthusiast-approved" pieces - Rolex, Omega, etc. To the average person it's a very impressive watch. Build quality/finish is to a high standard for the price and the open heart dial looks quite striking and "high-end" to the general public.

Tim, you are one the rare reviewer who is not obsess by the necessity to have a Rolex or an Omega watch ! Thanks for being down to hearth and offering a better view of what is offered by this market. There is many different brands, and many nice watches without paying 4000 $ for it. A pleasure to watch your review (and your excellent guitar skills)

Affordability is now, more than ever, super important. I love it that you made a video like this. Hamilton have some great pieces. Also Certina, like their DS1 line

Another perceptive, balanced and enjoyable video. I confess I love Hamilton. I have a Jazzmaster GMT 2, and also a Khaki King but with a champagne coloured dial. Both are very reliable and beautiful watches.

The Hamilton jazzmaster viewmatic with black dial and day and date function is really nice watch, it's so versatile.

[johnfrei]

In the next day or so, I’ll receive the exact same Viewmatic you talk about. I know I’m gonna love it and it will be a watch I’ll pass down, even though I will buy more expensive watches in the future.

Ich liebe den leichten archie luxury einspieler im Hintergrund. Nice touch 😄

I like seeing reviews of Hamiltons that aren't Khakis.

I love the fact you said 38 looks great on an "average" wrist. Too many reviewers proclaim watches are too big/small but don't mention that is only for the average wrist and there are others out there with bigger smaller wrists that may appreciate other sizes. Just you mentioning of average lets me know you understand it won't be for everyone. 38 is tiny in on my wrist and looks like I'm wearing a kids watch.

I own over a dozen watches including a Rolex Sub 114060, YM 116622, OP 114300, a speedy, Zenith Defy, Tudor BB58, a JLC reverso, a tank, a GS, a Hamilton Pan Europ and a Hamilton Intramatic Chrono Panda dial....and I’ll tell you honestly that my Hamilton watches can hold their own against any of my watches. The quality of some Hamilton models makes me second guess spending $10k to $15k on other brands.

Hamilton punches well above it’s weight class when it comes to value. Love the brand.

Thumbs up for the Archie theme song 👍🏼

I'm currently eagerly awaiting the Jazzmaster Viewmatic, which I purchased a few days ago. I also have a Hamiltion Khaki Field in my collection.

[scdevon]

Nice. I own several vintage 1950s and 1960s Hamiltons. Parts are still extremely easy to get for them. I want an Intra-Matic now. This is an underrated brand.

[throwingdartsandbreakinghearts]

Only snobs think a 1k watch is a beginner piece. A $20 Casio is a beginner watch.

Love Hamilton, excellent movement and quality for an affordable price 👍

[rickewilde]

I think Hamilton is my favourite brand. Its got most bases covered for every occasion in its repertoire. And overall quality is excellent.
