History
Perhaps best known as the ﾒfather
of the chronographﾓ, George Graham (1673-1751) was also the brains
behind inventions such as the dead-beat cylinder escapement,
the first wall chronograph and the mercury pendulum.
Commissioned by the Greenwich Royal
Observatory to create the Master Clock used by astronomers, he
became the first great 18th century clock-maker to be admitted
to the Royal Society.
Perpetuating this spirit of remarkable
innovations and technical expertise, Graham is now a contemporary
watch brand dedicated to enthusiasts of the mechanical arts.
Open-minded and passionately interested
in exchanges with his peers, including in other countries, Graham
would doubtless have approved this modern Swiss initiative to
revive the finest British horological traditions and build on
his rich heritage.
Based on inventive concepts determining
design, functions and finish, the 'British brand made by Swiss'
creates imposing 'wrist machines'.
Graham watches evoke a powerful
fascination among connoisseurs and collectors with technically
and esthetically playful objects that combine originality, exclusivity
and avant-garde with the excellence of traditional know-how.
