In all, the timepiece has a classy, iconic balance that is clean and visually powerful--particularly the black dial reference with its stark matte bezel which just seems to focus the eye.

In 2014, Christopher Nolan released the cinematic masterpiece, Interstellar. To summarize the film, a team of explorers travel through a wormhole in space to ensure humanity's survival from a now-dying Earth. One of the critical props throughout Interstellar is a one-off watch created by Hamilton, referenced as the “Murph.”
