OK, so today I wanna talk about my little journey with the Hamilton Murph watch. You know, the one from that movie, Interstellar? Yeah, that one.
First off, I saw the movie. Loved it. And of course, I noticed the watch. It’s not every day you see a watch play such a, like, pivotal role in a sci-fi flick, right? So, I got curious. Started digging around a bit, reading up on it. Turns out, it’s a Hamilton. Never owned one, but I’d heard good things.
So, I went to the official website. Found the watch – the “Murph”. Looked sleek, vintage vibes, kinda classic. I liked it. Then I started checking out the specs. Automatic movement, 80-hour power reserve, sapphire crystal… all the good stuff. Seemed like a solid piece. I thought to myself, “Why not?” Pulled the trigger, ordered it.
A few days later, it arrived. Opened it up, and man, it was something else in person. The black dial, the beige, vintage-looking lume, it all just worked. It felt sturdy, well-made. I strapped it on, and it fit like a glove. Comfortable, not too heavy. I was starting to really dig this watch.
Now, about setting it up. The steps are pretty much what I did:
- Unscrew the crown: First thing I did was unscrew the crown. It’s that little knob on the side. Just turned it counterclockwise until it popped out a bit.
- Pull out to the second position: Then I pulled it out all the way. There are usually two “clicks” or positions. You want the second one for setting the time.
- Set the time: I turned the crown to adjust the hands. Moved it forward to set the current time. Pretty straightforward.
- Push and screw back in: Once I had the time right, I pushed the crown back in all the way. Then, I screwed it back down by turning it clockwise. This makes sure it’s all sealed up and water-resistant.
After setting the time, I started wearing it around. Took it to work, wore it on the weekends. It’s versatile, you know? Looks good with a suit, looks good with jeans. And the lume? It glows really well in the dark. Makes it easy to read the time, even when it’s pitch black. I really used it to do something.
But here’s the cool part. I read somewhere that there’s Morse code on the seconds hand. “Eureka,” it says. It’s a nod to the movie, where the watch is used to send a message in Morse code. I thought that was a neat little detail. It’s like a secret message, just for the wearer.
I’ve been wearing this watch for a while now, and I gotta say, I’m impressed. It’s accurate, it’s reliable, and it’s got a cool story behind it. Plus, it’s just a good-looking watch. I get compliments on it all the time. People ask me about it, and I get to tell them the whole story. It’s a conversation starter, for sure.
So, that’s my experience with the Hamilton Murph. It’s been a fun ride. I went from seeing it in a movie to wearing it on my wrist. It’s more than just a watch to me now. It’s a reminder of a great movie, a cool piece of design, and a little bit of a conversation piece. And honestly, I just like wearing it. It feels good, it looks good, and it works good. What more could you ask for in a watch?
If you’re thinking about getting one, I’d say go for it. It’s a solid choice. Whether you’re a fan of the movie or not, it’s just a great watch. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. In general, I really enjoy it. That’s it.
