Graham Collectors 132

George Graham was the inventor of the chronograph and the cylinder escapement. That made him one of the “greatest master horologists in history”. Backed by his extensive experience, he introduced techniques, which laid the basis of contemporary mechanical watchmaking.

Today, British Masters SA is proud to present the Graham Collectors 132 timepiece in a limited edition of 100 mechanical chronographs in red gold and 32 in white gold combined with palladium. This exceptional timepiece with its highly unusual movement is a tribute to the genius of Graham because it also incorporates an original technical simplification: the three functions - chronograph start, stop and reset - are all operated by a single push-piece.

This exceptional movement housed in a collector’s watch is available in a unique edition of 132 timepieces. Its manual winding G 132 chronograph mechanism has a 36 hour power reserve and beats at 18,000 vibrations per hour. It also incorporates several remarkable features, including a big column-wheel, clearly visible through the sapphire back of the watchcase. The upper part of the mechanism is domed to enable the dial and the hands, which are also convex, to perfectly embrace the curve of the movement. The recessed and domed sapphire crystal covers the whole unit in a classically harmonious style. This Graham Collectors 132 timepiece is water-resistant to 160 feet. Its case is fitted with wide water-resistance gaskets and the back held in place by six screws protects this chronograph perfectly against water infiltration.

Last but not least, the Graham Collectors 132 features the unique configuration of a sweep seconds hand without a minute-counter as it is intended primarily to measure pulse rates. That is after all natural for a timepiece which appeals to the heart!

Designed for connoisseurs of the watchmaking art, the Graham Collectors 132 timepiece is a rare example of the unique achievements that typify the watchmakers and engineers who today pay a noble tribute to their prestigious master, George Graham.
