Pin-up Girls from Graham walk the streets of Hong Kong

On 29th June 2017, Graham pin-up girls went out on the streets in Hong Kong to meet watch-lovers and curious spectators.

Graham Pin-ups

With a very festive atmosphere, the pin-ups walked around the streets with the Chronofighter Vintage Nose Art Ltd watches on the wrists.

Spectators and guests were a tad surprised to see the girls from the dials coming to life.

Graham founder Eric Loth was there to lend a helping hand together with a lonely male model wearing a Chronofighter Vintage GMT.

In conjunction with the Chronofighter Vintage Nose Art Ltd exhibition at Oriental Watch Co., the 4 models presented the collection to guests and posed in front of the lens with their cartoon counterparts.

Will Sally or Anna take your time into their hands?

What about a date with Lilly?

Or will Nina be the one to keep you on track?

Glamorous illustrations, in the style of those first applied to military planes in the 1940s to bolster military morale, turn these timepieces into appealing statements of hope and freedom.

The watch dials are quite attractive, colourful and funky. It's just a shame that the watches are spoilt by all that nonsense around the crown. Regards Kev.

Graham always had the chronograph trigger but also AP, Invicta and Olympics timers [photos inside]

Graham made the chronograph trigger a feature of their design but the same thing has been tried by many watch makers including for the Olympic Games, Audemars Piguet Survivor, Invicta, Panerai etc... Olympic Games chronograph Audemars Piguet Survivor Invi...

Thanks for the additional information. I didn't realise it had that function but I'm still not keen on it.

I do like the Olympic Games chronograph though - wonderful thing - it looks like a prototype "teas made" / Espresso machine. Thanks again. Regards Kev.

Wasn't this already done by Romain Jerome...

or MB&F also had on the HM6... The girls are certainly better than the watches Cheers Andrew

Not on the dial [photos inside]

Romain Jerome In 2014, Romain Jerome issued some Belles of the Fair but they were on the case back rather than on the dial. In fact, the dials were quite uninspiring... Romain Jerome MB&F MB&F issued the HM4 Double Trouble to paly on the double booms ...
