Hamilton Steps Outside With National Geographic Explorer Albert Lin
Hamilton has forged a new partnership with National Geographic Explorer Albert Lin as part of their Step Outside campaign. Lin, an accomplished explorer and scientist, employs advanced technologies like satellite imagery and drones to uncover lost human stories through archaeological discoveries. His journeys have taken him from the deserts of Jordan to the jungles of Guatemala, revealing insights into our collective history. A significant aspect of Lin's narrative is his personal experience after losing a leg in an accident, from which he has recovered using cutting-edge prosthetics, enhancing his ability to navigate challenging environments. Lin's connection to Hamilton Watches is rooted in both practicality and nostalgia, having first encountered the brand through its iconic Ventura watch in the movie Men in Black. His expeditions rely on watches not just as accessories but as vital tools, with models like the Khaki Field Expedition featuring functional elements like a compass bezel. As he further explores Hamilton's history, Lin appreciates how the brand balances tradition and innovation, viewing watches as heirlooms that carry stories, much like the artifacts he discovers in his work. Through this collaboration, Lin aims to highlight the deeper meanings behind these timepieces, which will one day serve as artifacts themselves, telling the stories of those who wore them.
