Black crystal is utterly new, and boldly counter-intuitive. You expect crystal to glitter, and suddenly it doesn't. Gazing at our new Hamilton, dressed in Jet Black crystal, is like looking at a photographic negative of a classic crystal chandelier. The crystal is traditional in shape and beautifully faceted, but it's glossy rather than glitzy. The Jet Black crystal arms gleam darkly. Frame elements are exceptionally fine mouth-blown and hand-cut crystal, all in black.
