Relaunch of the British Master : Thomas Tompion
Dear All,
I have immense pleasure in announcing the arrival of my pre-launch Thomas Tompion wrist watch. As many of u may not know as Thomas Tompion (1639-1713) was an English clock maker, watch maker and mechanician who is still regarded to this day as the Father of English Clockmaking. Tompion's work includes some of the most historic and important clocks and watches in the world. A plaque commemorates the house he shared on Fleet Street with his equally famous pupil George Graham.
The brand is being relaunched by Graham watch makers.
Watch made in stainless steel with modified ETA movement and limited to 88 pieces .
Few pictures for your pleasure...
