Hamilton Watch Complex, Industrial landmark in Lancaster, United States.
The Hamilton Watch Complex features twin clock towers rising 90 feet with mansard roofs and four-faced clocks on the main building structure.
Founded in 1892, the Hamilton Watch Company manufactured timepieces in this complex until 1980, including over one million watches for the military during World War II.
The complex represents Lancaster's manufacturing heritage through its Art Deco, International style, and Second Empire architectural elements combined in one industrial structure.
The former industrial site now contains 135 residential condominiums, preserving the original architecture while serving modern housing needs in Lancaster's urban center.
The complex maintains its original clock towers from 1916, marking the time for Lancaster residents while housing the first United States Hamilton store.
