It makes a good story I suppose, but I'm sure everybody knew that Hamilton is an established watch brand, even I did.
This will be about specific product categories (possibly smart watches?) and markets, and probably variants on the trademarks. IIRC Hamilton (the watches), at least latterly, has been primarily a brand for North America. If the mark had not been previously used or protected in Europe then there might have been scope for an argument.
