I have always been fascinated by movies, and my love for watches came later. As a movie enthusiast, I often seek connections between films and other aspects of life. One brand that has a long history in the movie industry is Hamilton. Their watches have made appearances in films for decades. Usually, the brand's PR team collaborates with websites like ours to introduce watches featured in upcoming movies. However, the connection between Hamilton and the movie Interstellar is unique.
In the film, Matthew McConaughey's character Cooper wears a Khaki Pilot Day-Date from Hamilton. But it's the watch worn by Cooper's daughter, Murph, that stands out. The Murph watch was specially created for the movie and plays a vital role in its resolution. After the film's release, watch enthusiasts expressed their desire for a real-life version of the Murph watch. Finally, Hamilton listened and released a smaller 38mm version that quickly became a favorite among collectors.
The latest addition to the Murph collection is a white dialed version. This new watch maintains the vintage aesthetic of the original, with beige lume added to the numerals and hands for improved legibility. Additionally, Hamilton now offers a bracelet option for the black dialed Murph watch, providing a different look and expanding its appeal.
The Murph watch from Interstellar holds a unique place in the watch industry. Its connection to the film and its role in the plot make it more than just a product placement. The watch's existence is a result of the enthusiasm from both the movie and watch communities. Furthermore, Interstellar itself has aged remarkably well since its release and continues to captivate audiences. Hamilton's involvement in the film only adds to the Murph watch's significance and popularity.
If you're a fan of both movies and watches, the Khaki Field Murph is a must-have. Its connection to Interstellar and the unique story behind its creation make it a standout piece in any collection. The new white dial version and the option for a bracelet provide even more choices for watch enthusiasts.
The Khaki Field Murph is available now for $895, while the black dial version on a bracelet retails for $945.
