Hamilton Happenings

dear friends,

When you are a luxury brand that’s been around for more than a century, you constantly look for ways to innovate in an ever-shifting landscape. With this issue of ACCENT magazine, for fall and winter 2022, we are officially marking our 110th anniversary and so honoring our rich heritage, our bold present, and our continued legacy for the future.

The renovation of our Princeton flagship store is finally complete, and includes exciting new features such as a reimagined engagement ring and wedding band salon experience as well as our Curate room showcasing established and emerging designers, several exclusive to Hamilton Jewelers in the U.S. market.

Collaborative custom spaces also have been created with several of our brand partners: a Rolex salon, designed by Rolex in Geneva, Switzerland; a custom Patek Philippe space created by their Geneva design team; a visually stunning Cartier installation from the Paris atelier that is the first of its kind for us and for the brand; and last but certainly not least, an area featuring David Yurman’s jewelry and devised along with the namesake designer. This project began a decade ago with renowned architect Tom Pulk (formerly of the global design firm Callison RTKL and now with Pulk Design) and the mission to create an exciting and welcoming experience. Over the past five years, the amazing team at Joshua Zinder Architecture + Design, led by Mark Sullivan and Taylor Kinsey Toms, along with the ML7 Construction and Milex Construction crews, handled the construction with the greatest respect for the fine-jewelry environment that was still operating on the other side of the wall. We are so profoundly proud of this project, and feel this newly renovated space will provide a welcoming and engaging shopping experience for our guests that is uniquely Princeton—and quintessentially Hamilton.

As we continue to evolve as a company, we often reflect on our four-generation heritage, which is ingrained so deeply with our core values, as we consider what’s next—and always with the knowledge that our past should inform but never define our future.

Please enjoy this issue with our deepest gratitude for allowing us to serve you for more than a century. We look forward to welcoming you in our newly renovated Princeton store and our Palm Beach locations this holiday season!

PRESIDENT AND C.E.O.

From PALM BEACH to PRINCETON

Hamilton Sips and Shops with Temple St. Clair to Benefit Young Friends of Peggy Adams

Fine jeweler Temple St. Clair—known for her signature intricate gold work and bold gemstone pieces, and a longtime partner of Hamilton Jewelers—was fêted at a special afternoon event to launch the brand’s new Florence86 Collection. The casual “sip and shop” was held at the iconic Colony Hotel (Editor’s note: For more on this legendary Palm Beach hot spot, see our feature article beginning on page 110) and also featured a fashion trunk show of designs by Cara Cara.

With a who’s-who of Palm Beach culture and society, such as Bettina Anderson, Stephanie Hill, and Kelley Smith, in attendance, the afternoon benefitted the Young Friends of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, a group of young professionals committed to broadening and enhancing the base of support for animal welfare in Palm Beach County.
