The Harrison Ford Hamilton Watches
Why oh why can't there be some cool cult watch made popular by being on Harrison Ford's wrist in one of his movies? Seriously, not even Indiana Jones wore a timepiece.

I don't know the guy but I have heard a few things about him as a watch wearer. First of all, for a long time (perhaps even now) Harrison Ford has been a Rolex man.

We saw his actual watch. 1 OF 4 William Anderson was a naval officer, who later became a U.S. Representative for Tennessee. His appointment as captain of the USS Nautilus was world news at the time, as this was the very first nuclear powered submarine to be put into service. He would pilot this craft under the Nort
