One of the most fabulous picks of the year is a camouflaged ChronoFighter SAS watch from Graham. The premium international watch brand pays a stylish tribute Special Air Services division of British defense which fought German invasion during World War II. Equipped with a trigger system this chronograph is a cool gadget for the bold and the stylish. Two other watches from the same brand – ChronoSprint and Oxford – are also making waves with their art deco inspired designs.
The watch brand sprouted from the legacy of George Graham, an influential watchmaker of the 18th century. He created design improvements for the pendulum and invented a mercury oscillator; and also the first wall chronograph and an orrery. But his crowning achievement was the creation of dead beat escapement in 1715. Recognizing his excellence in the field Clockmaker’s company appointed him master. And like his own master Thomas Tompion had done in the past, he passed on the ways and means of his craft to eager young minds. Some of his students like Thomas Mudge went on to become stalwarts of the field in their own right.
More than a watchmaker he was a scientist too. He made important contributions to geophysics with his detailed studies on earth’s magnetic fields, it diurnal changes, and influence on auroras. He even made some exemplary compass needles which were used by other scientists of the time. The legendary watch maker and scientist, was also known for his honesty and integrity. In 1995 British Masters SA, an Anglo-Swiss watch-making firm was founded. It rekindled the fire of the legendary watch maker’s creative genius, and comes up with great designs every year.
