Serial number generator.Дuring the expansion of the railroads in the U.S., Hamilton maintained over 56% of the market. The company was named after James Hamilton son of (lawyer) Andrew Hamilton, a Scottish born attorney who laid out and founded Lancaster, and was the original owner of the Lancaster site on which the factory was situated. The name of the new company was originally to be 'Columbian,' but when it was discovered the Waterbury Watch Company had trademarked that name, a meeting of stock holders was called in November 1892 and a new name selected. During the same year, Aurora Watch Company of Illinois also merged into Keystone. The Hamilton Watch Company was established in 1892 after Keystone Standard Watch Company was purchased from bankruptcy. Keystone existed until 1891 when the company was sold to Hamilton Watch Company. Keystone manufactured watches featuring a patented 'Dust Proof' design that used a small acrylic 'window' to cover the only opening in the plate of the movement.

The precursor to the Hamilton Watch Co., the Lancaster, Pennsylvania based Keystone Standard Watch Co., was started by Abram Bitner in 1886 with the purchase of Lancaster Watch Company's factory.

Hamilton succeeded three watch firms manufacturing timepieces in the same facilities in Lancaster, PA, including the Lancaster Watch Company.
