Hamilton Powell

CEO / Founder | Crown & Caliber

There is an estimated $100 billion in pre-owned watches in the US either on people’s wrist or in their closets. Hamilton Powell created Crown & Caliber to completely disrupt the way people buy and sell watches.

For Sellers, their online consignment service makes it easy for individuals to safely and profitably sell a luxury watch. For Buyers, they offer certified pre-owned watches at up to 50% off of retail—all of which have been inspected and authenticated by our in-house expert Swiss-trained watchmakers.

Hamilton is passionate about building great teams and an insanely powerful culture. He is kind of obsessive about it. His motto is "Live for the line, not the dot." and that belief resonates in every customer interaction he has.
