Nicolas Ivanoff

The official Hamilton brand ambassador, Nicolas Ivanoff, started Aerobatics at the beginning of the 1990s and by 1997 he was already a member of the French Aerobatics Team. Every year since then, he has consistently finished in the top 10 in various aerobatic competitions, be it European or World Championships. Performing every season at official international competitions, the Quick Corsican, as he’s called, captures the powerful emotions of the audience at Air Shows such as Oshkosh, Wisconsin (US), Tannkosh Airshow in Tannheim, Germany, the Free Flight World Masters in France and the Red Bull Air Races around the world.

The Red Bull Air Race World Championship features the world’s best race pilots in a pure motor-sport competition that combines speed, precision and skill. Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, pilots navigate a low-level aerial track made up of air-filled pylons 25 meters high. There are several rules and safety changes compared to the last race three years ago, but one thing remains the same: The Red Bull Air Race is the most thrilling motor sports competition in the sky.

Hamilton and Nicolas Ivanoff share a deep-rooted passion for flying. The brand has been timing the skies since 1919, when the pioneering pilots of the era put their trust in the precision of its watches and navigation instruments. In addition to keeping the first American airmail service on track, Hamilton became the official watch of TWA, Eastern, United and Northwest in the 1930s. Adventure joined accuracy as these instruments demonstrated their unrivaled expertise partnering the first American coast to coast air services which took commercial flying into the modern age.
