Hamilton Watch Partners with Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures

In an exclusive collaboration with Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, Hamilton has designed a custom "Desert Watch" specifically requested by filmmaker Denis Villeneuve for his highly anticipated film, "Dune: Part Two," the sequel to his cinematic masterpiece "Dune."

Hamilton, a historic presence in Hollywood with watches featured in over 500 major films since 1932, is entering new realms of collaboration with the artisans behind "Dune: Part Two." Unlike previous collaborations, where Hamilton either selected existing watches, delved into archives or created entirely new designs, the world of “Dune” demanded a different approach. At Villeneuve’s request, Hamilton worked alongside the film’s prop master, Doug Harlocker, to craft a watch for another world that defies traditional watch norms. With no knowledge of the device’s function but guided by the lore of Frank Herbert’s Dune” and Villeneuve’s vision for the film, Hamilton’s designers created a hardwearing, distinctly Fremen device that perfectly embodied Harlocker’s artistry and earned Villeneuve’s blessing on the final design.

While the "Desert Watch" is exclusive to Arrakis, its creative influence has inspired Hamilton to launch two limited-edition watches in February 2024, coinciding with the release of "Dune: Part Two." Both Venturas feature a luminous blue dial reminiscent of the Fremen's unmistakable blue eyes. The Ventura Bright includes a button replicating the glowing blue lines of the "Desert Watch" dial design. The brand-new Ventura Edge boasts a matte black PVD-coated angular case with a digital display in blue, mimicking the relief elements seen on the prop in the film.

The limited-edition pieces come with commemorative packaging inspired by the film that fans of the movies and books, and collectors will enjoy.
