Inside the Hamilton x Worn & Wound Call of Duty NYC Pop-Up Event
When our friends at Hamilton first approached us about teaming up for an event this year, we had no idea it would involve one of the most iconic gaming franchises of all time. Just last week, Hamilton released the Khaki Field Auto 38mm Call of Duty Special Edition alongside the global launch of Black Ops 7, and Worn & Wound was honored to help celebrate by hosting a special gathering for NYC-based enthusiasts at the Hamilton x Call of Duty pop-up in Manhattan.
The space was fully immersed in Call of Duty atmosphere—gear, watches, and of course, gaming stations. At the center of it all was a stunning optical-illusion installation by artist Michael Murphy, immediately grabbing the attention of everyone who walked in. It set the tone: bold, immersive, and cleverly detailed.
Knowing how much our audience loves pairing their watches with well-designed gear, Hamilton invited us to curate a supporting selection of EDC essentials that would complement the Special Edition Khaki Field both visually and functionally. We had a blast assembling a kit of items from OEG EDC, Able Carry, Maratac, Spring Made, and Big Idea Design.
Midway through the evening—after a warm welcome from Hamilton’s new CEO, Francesca Ginocchio, and an overview of the watch—we presented the curated items… and then took things up a notch. Each item was individually gifted to lucky attendees, turning part of the night into a lively, watch and gear celebration.
Guests were also handed a special mission: bring a UV flashlight. Many of you did not disappoint. At check-in, attendees were told to search the space for a seven-letter code hidden in UV luminescent ink. Those who cracked it were entered into a separate giveaway—one with a huge surprise. The grand prize? One of the actual gaming consoles from the pop-up experience, a vivid memento of the entire experience.
The rest of the night delivered everything we love about events like this—good food, great conversations, Hamilton watches on wrists, and plenty of Call of Duty gameplay. And the good news doesn’t end there. While the Hamilton x Call of Duty Pop-Up closes after Thanksgiving weekend, the space is being reimagined as a full Hamilton holiday experience. Be sure to stop by 437 Broadway in New York City this season. The space will be closed for Thanksgiving and will reopen this Friday, with hours of 11 a.m.–7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 12–6 p.m. on Sundays.
Finally, a massive thanks to the team at Hamilton. It’s clear they value enthusiasts and are committed to creating meaningful experiences for them. With a long history of seeing their watches on the big screen, it’s exciting to witness that tradition seamlessly extend into the world of gaming.
