Back to The Makers

Through his contacts at the case manufacturers, Richard Arbib was retained by Hamilton in the early 1950's. He was responsible for the first futuristic electric, The Ventura.

Would many of us be collecting Hamilton Electrics if it wasn't for Richard Arbib? I doubt it!

The movements are interesting but the cases are....FANTASTIC! and we can thank Mr. Arbib for that. He was the head of a New York design company that did contract work for the likes of General Motors, American Motors and Century Boats.
