World’s Most Valuable Timepiece Disappears
Back in 1933, the most important watch ever built was engineered for a millionaire collector named Henry Graves. This ultra-rare watch sold at Sothebys' to a secretive collector and is now rarely seen. We believe that a classic like this should be available to all, and so have replicated the exact Graves design in the Graves '33. The enamelled face and Bruguet hands are true to the original and we have replicated the automatic movement with 27 jewels and seven hands. There are over 210 hand assembled parts that have been tested for over 15 days on Swiss calibrators to ensure accuracy. The four interior complications on the Graves(tm) '33 display the month, day, date and depicts the sun and the moon. The timepiece is powered by the movement of the body and never needs batteries or winding. The precision crafted gears are "lubricated" by 27 rubies that give the hands a smooth sweeping movement. Water resistant to 5 atmospheres, and covered by a 2-year warranty. Fine 27-jewel automatics such as this can cost well over £1,000, but you can enter the world of fine watch collecting for under £100. You can now wear a millionaire's watch but still keep your millions in your pocket.
