Brand’s Sponsorship of the 2014 EAA AirVenture Generates Excitement from the Ground Up
Biel, August 4, 2014 – Hamilton, which has been timing the skies since 1919, providing pilots with the high-quality, precision-crafted navigation instruments and watches replica they depend on, reinforced almost a century of proven aviation heritage, at the 2014 EAA AirVenture, which took place July 28th – August 3rd at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
The annual, week-long event known as The World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration hosts more than 500,000 Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) members and other aviation enthusiasts who come to enjoy the unmatched roster of daily events including air shows, movies, concerts, forums, workshops, demonstrations and more.
A six-time partner of the EAA AirVenture, Hamilton was the Timekeeping Sponsor of the event and also served as an exhibitor, showcasing its innovative line of precision-crafted pilot watches replica. In addition, Hamilton’s ambassador, Nicolas Ivanoff, the famous French aerobatic pilot with nearly 20 years of air show performances under his belt, performed thrilling stunts at the event in his Hamilton-branded Edge 540 plane.
Following a day of flips, turns, glides and spirals, on Wednesday, July 30th, guests of Hamilton enjoyed cocktails at the EAA Airventure Museum, where they viewed the brand’s new collection of pilot watches replica, including the brand new Khaki X-Wind collection, which was introduced this past spring, as well as the brand new Khaki Pilot Pioneer Aluminium collection and the Khaki Take Off, which both hit stores in November.
In addition, guests had an opportunity to meet Ivanoff, along with Sylvain Dolla, CEO of Hamilton International. They also got a chance to see footage of Mr. Ivanoff’s performances as well as preview a movie trailer for the film Invisible Highway by Brian J. Terwilliger. Hamilton’s special guest, Mr. Gerold Biner, CEO of Swiss-based helicopter transport and rescue company, Air Zermatt, was also on hand and thrilled guests with exciting stories about some of his team’s most triumphant rescues in Nepal. Following the three presentations, guests were invited to participate in a 45-minute flight simulation which left guests exhilarated.
