Hollywood On Your Wrist! Hollywood Watch Company Creates Swiss Watches With Metal From The Original Hollywood Sign From 1923
HWC is making watches with an artifact, an actual piece of the original Hollywood Sign preserved inside a Swiss-made watch
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Sept. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- It's not commonly known that the original Hollywood sign from 1923 was replaced in 1978, a costly movement spearheaded by celebrities including Hugh Hefner and Alice Cooper. HWC purchased the remaining metal from the original sign and designed a functional way for fans to own a piece of this iconic monument. Everyone loves movies – now enthusiasts can enjoy the legacy of film by placing a piece of its history onto their wrist.

The metal from the original sign is finite. Only a select few will be able to own an HWC timepiece with Hollywood sign metal on the dial. Named The Premiere Edition, this watch is timeless yet contemporary.
HWC spent two years refining the design to ensure the very best Swiss-made quality at an affordable price.
- Available in two sizes; 43mm and 36mm bezel
- Each size is limited to 1,923, a nod to the year the original sign was built
- Inspired by the Golden Age of Hollywood with art deco design elements
- Metal plaque at the 12 o'clock position, engraved with an art deco H
- Sunspray pattern on the face and on case back with edition number
- Roman numerals

Each watch delivers the quality you expect in a Swiss-made timepiece with Swiss movements. The metal is treated to maintain the integrity of the aged weathering. The leather strap options feature quick release and deployment buckles. Mesh and metal bracelets also available.
"An HWC watch is the embodiment of the American dream. It's a must for any watch collector or film enthusiast."
"Every watch is aligned with our core values: timeless style, quality, history, heritage, integrity and Americana."
- Antoine Mandy, Director of International Retail.
