Graham

The Swiss group The British Mastes has breathed new life into the old name Graham with unusual watch creations. The moniker is derived from one of the most important figures in the history of watchmaking: the great George Graham was not only the namesake of the cylinder escapement from the eighteenth century, but was also said to be the inventor of the chronograph and may justifiably be called one of the most important men in the history of watchmaking.

Swiss Replica Graham began working for the famous Thomas Tompion in 1695, but soon started his own business—with the ambition of outdoing his master. Most of the watches that were made at this time deviated in rate precision by up to ten minutes per day. Graham was one of the first whose watches didn’t deviate by more than one second per day. Graham even received the contract from the Greenwich Royal Observatory to build its master clock. He was also inducted into the Royal Society, an organization that was originally reserved for scientists and astronomers only.
