British Horology Chapter Meeting & Presentation.
This talk will present a short study of a single timepiece by George Graham (ca. 1673-1751) that was discovered at an NAWCC mart last year. The presentation will explore some of the watch’s technical details and establish their context in early 18th-century watchmaking and in the scientific life of its maker.
