Hamilton’s Iconic ‘Murph’: A Cinematic Legacy Reimagined
Few timepieces have captured the imagination of film and watch enthusiasts quite like the Hamilton Khaki Field Murph. Made famous through its pivotal role in the science-fiction epic Interstellar, “The Murph” became a powerful symbol of time, connection, and enduring love between a father and daughter.
Affectionately named by fans, the Murph is more than just a watch, it is a storytelling device integral to the film’s emotional arc. Its presence on screen exemplifies the strength of Hamilton’s longstanding relationship with Hollywood, cementing its place as one of the brand’s most iconic cinematic collaborations.
Adding a touch of mystery and meaning, the seconds hand subtly features the word Eureka in Morse code, printed in lacquer and nearly invisible to the naked eye. For those familiar with the film’s narrative, it serves as a hidden homage that deepens the emotional resonance of the piece.
Hamilton also collaborated with Interstellar’s award-winning production designer, Nathan Crowley, to create a collector’s box inspired by the film’s iconic tesseract scene. The colored stripes lining the interior echo the surreal supercube where Cooper connects with Murph across the fabric of time.
The Murph watch remains available at Rivoli and Hour Choice stores, or online at rivolishop.com.
