Presenting The Amazing Graham Moon Tourbillon Blue Dial Watch Replica
It is not the first time that the British brand introduces a Graham Chronofighter Trigger Tourbillon Chronograph replica watch with a tourbillon escapement (back in 2009 they started selling a monstrous Graham Chronofighter Trigger Tourbillon Chronograph model), however, the new Geo.Graham Moon t(ref. 2GGAP.U01A.C128B)hand-wound watch definitely looks like their opus magnum both in terms of exterior design and technical ingenuity.As far as I understand, unlike their usual collaborations with the other watchmaking specialist La Joux Perret, this new movement is not based on existing mechanisms and was actually designed from scratch using vast experience of the brand’s founder Mr, Christophe Claret who, among other accomplishments, have designed the beautiful Caliber CLA88 that powered Ulysse Nardin San Marco minute repeater.
The Caliber G1769, for example, has a highly sophisticated double absorber system that was developed exclusively for Graham by the well-known master watchmaker Christophe Claret. As far as I know, Graham doesn’t manufacture its own calibers. However, the British company has a number of very serious partners in Switzerland that supply them with finely crafted, complicated movements.
Built on 29 jewels and sporting impressive 96 hours (exactly four days) of power reserve, the movement features not only a stunning flying tourbillon escapement (placed at 6 hours and also acting as a small seconds indicator), but also sports a hand-painted retrograde moonphase indicator that needs to be adjusted only once in every 122 years with a simple push of a button. Yes, the complication is not particularly rare these days: you can find one with the same accuracy at 1/100th of a price, but, from the point of view of pure aesthetics, The Moon Tourbillon makes a very good impression.
As you can see, the gentle blue face of the best quality fake Graham Chronofighter Trigger watch is adorned with whole 45 diamonds that form five major constellations (Camelopardalis, Perseus, Cassiopeia, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor) with the North Star positioned exactly in the center of the dial where the open-worked rose gold hands are attached to the stem.
Another notable thing is, of course, the sapphire ring, which is inserted in the bezel and is decorated with some of the constellations that form the Milky Way.
