“Graham” is a famous English name with longstanding roots in quality timepieces, beginning with master watchmaker George Graham. Graham was born in 1673 and lived in London, creating a variety of revolutionary devices and inventions with the idea that someday his developments would become something significant. One of his most well-known inventions, for example, is the stopwatch, a device utilized throughout the world in its original form and, as of late, digitized for use on our smartphones and computers. Graham also invented the dead-beat escapement, making clocks substantially more accurate. Though he didn’t know it at the time, his escapement would one day serve as the predecessor to what we know as the Swiss anchor movement – a fundamental feature of nearly all modern wristwatches.
