Jewellery & Watch News
Fierce, fantastic and fascinating, Graham watches step out of the box of traditional watchmaking and go beyond it like never before. The independent watch manufacturer is inspired by a rich history that dates back to 1695, a time when watchmaking was still in its infancy. George Graham was a British clockmaker, inventor and geophysicist who honours the brand with his name, a gentleman known for designing many remarkable instruments during his career. One of these valuable technologies was a 28-day duration longcase regulator with a deadbeat escapement released in 1745.
The same innovation and attention to detail that George Graham put into each of his inventions is applied to every Graham watch that you see today. While still representing their British heritage, Graham watches house exquisite Swiss made movements with many of their watch components manufactured in their own production facilities in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the watchmaking capital of the world. The Graham Chronofighter watch collection is their most iconic design of all, famed for its statement lever on the left side of the case inspired by the watches worn by pilots during World War II. Flying officers would often have stopwatches strapped over the bomber jackets and the left-hand side lever would make it easy for the aviators to make time measurements with one hand.
As well as the Graham Chronofighter, we are treated to a huge range of Graham watches. Let’s take a look at all their latest releases in more detail…
Graham Swordfish Watches
A truly unorthodox chronograph, the Graham Swordfish watch boasts an aesthetic inspired by the migratory predator that prowls our oceans. Its unconventional design is overpowered by two 20% magnifying glasses over the hour and minute counters that stare back at the wearer like a pair of onlooking eyes while the gorgeous textured straps instantly remind us of the scales found on the swordfish. The Swiss watchmaker also recently revealed a brand new Graham Swordfish Lovelife watch, a timepiece honouring the Lovelife program designed to take care of vulnerable children and their families with cancer, autism, Down syndrome and other pathologies.

Graham Chronofighter Grand Vintage Watches
Inspired by military aviation history from the 1940’s, the Graham Chronofighter Grand Vintage watch collection boasts the brand’s famous Chronofighter aesthetic with some vintage touches. The 47mm cases are paired with a larger sized date aperture and a stunning range of straps from calfskin leather to sporty rubber. These proud, statement instruments are the time capsules that connect yesterday to today, providing all of us modern-day watch wearers with a glimpse into history.

Graham Chronofighter Vintage Watches
Showcasing the same vintage touches as the Grand Vintage collection, the Graham Chronofighter Vintage watches come at a slightly smaller size with 44mm cases. These stunning pilots instruments are still overcome with the statement left side lever and crown but dress the wrists of those looking for something subtler. We also love the Graham Chronofighter Vintage GMT watch which prepares all avid travellers with a second time zone thanks to a large arrow-shaped GMT hand and a 24 hour scale ceramic bezel.

Graham Chronofighter Vintage Nose Art Watches
For lovers of retro, the Graham Chronofighter Vintage Nose Art watch collection is the perfect destination for its stunning images of pin-up girls on the dial. Each of these lovely ladies, who have been given their own name, become the mascot of precision timekeeping and take us on a journey back to World War II when nose art was often found on the fuselage of an aircraft. Each of the Graham Chronofighter Nose Art watches are limited to only 100 pieces, so don’t wait around for a date with either Lilly, Sally, Chloe or Belle!

Graham Chronofighter Superlight Watches
One of the brand’s most iconic collections, the Graham Chronofighter Superlight unveils one of the luxury watch industry’s most high performing materials. The case, trigger, bezel, dial and buckle are all crafted from scratch resistant superlight black carbon composite, a material that is made using a highly complex and advanced machining process. The Graham Chronofighter Superlight watches stand bold at 47mm in size but thanks to the lightweight material these watches sit on the wrist at a weight lighter than 100g.

The Graham Chronofighter Steel watch collection perfectly epitomises the philosophy and direction of the brand with a design engineered especially for only the most exciting adventures in the sky. Crafted from the likes of stainless steel, carbon, ceramic and fabric, these instruments boasts an aesthetic that can be used in extreme conditions thanks to scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass, luminous dials and high resistant straps. The Graham Chronofighter Steel watches are also endowed with chronograph function and a calculated telemeter scale, enabling you to measure distances thanks to the speed of sound.

Graham Chronofighter Prodive Watches
Swapping the skies for the oceans, the watch manufacturer released the Graham Chronofighter Prodive watch back in 2012 as a limited edition. Nevertheless, its success won it a permanent position in the collection, and it has since become an iconic luxury divers watch for both professional and amateur divers. Thanks to the patented mono-pusher chronograph system, two colours of radiation-free luminescent indications and an automatic helium valve, each Graham Chronofighter Prodive watch is water resistant to an incredible 2,000 metres so you never feel restricted to the depths you can go.

Graham Chronofighter GMT Watches
The Graham Chronofighter GMT watches are absolutely stunning, not only for their incredibly handy second time zone function but for their classy and elaborate sapphire bezels. These remarkable timepieces make the ideal wrist companion for those of us who are frequent flyers, requiring a constant reminder of both the time back home and the time in the new climate. The easy to read GMT function is displayed through a large arrow-tipped hand in the centre which points to the new hour on the coloured bezel. We also love the large date window at 12 o clock, a stunning addition to the classic Chronofighter design.
