Graham London Swordfish Booster Iris

This contemporary art gallery has been a major influence on art in Britain since its opening in 1985. The Saatchi Gallery provides an original setting for contemporary art and often introduces young and otherwise unknown artists or largely unusual concepts such as this one I’m writing about today.

The new Graham watch, unveiled for the first time in front of the audience at the prestigious Saatchi Gallery, is a visionary and truly original iridescent-colored piece. The unusual rainbow-effect is a result of a special treatment in which a complex composition of layer's oxide causes the surface to change colors in reflected light. This treatment is known as the “nanometer-scale coating” and it is exclusively developed for Graham.




Graham Swordfish Booster Iris is an automatic bi-compax chronograph with seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hours counter. The watch utilizes Calibre G1710 movement built on 34 jewels and equipped with 48 hours of power reserve. Everything is nested inside of 48 mm stainless steel case with black PVD coating and interferential substrate on the surface. The Swordfish Booster is equipped with right hand control pushers adorned with "Clous de Paris" high grip pattern. The pushers emanate the same iridescent effect as the rest of the watch-body. Even the black mother-of-pearl dial repeats the same colorful reflection, but in a simple, more natural hue. The dial reveals two snailed counters, one for the hours and one for the minutes, each magnified by 15%.
