Graham Chronofighter Vintage Ltd is a limited edition top replica watch with a painted British flag on the painted dial. When the future relationship between the UK and the EU became a topic of heated debate, luxury watch brand Graham asked provocatively: “British Brexit?” and “Would I stay or should I leave?”
Luxury watch company Graham is named after the legendary watchmaker George Graham (1673-1751). He was responsible for perfecting the pendulum clock, handling the bounce-free escapement, inventing the mercury pendulum method, and producing the first Orrery. He worked for the outstanding Thomas Tompion and then married Tom Pan's niece Elizabeth. His professional achievements have been recognized by his contemporaries and he has been appointed as a member of the Royal Society (1721).
Today, Graham produces watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the Swiss watchmaking capital. Each model of the brand has a “first-class Swiss movement”. However, although Switzerland is the headquarters of the company, some of the brand's heart will still exist in the UK forever.
Recently, this luxury brand has become synonymous with chronographs and launched Graham Chronofighter Vintage Ltd. This limited edition timepiece features a Union Jack dial with contrasting hands and time markers. Most notably, it has a 30-minute chronograph with the text "Brexit?". This is most appropriate because the UK is almost divided into two major political decisions to “retain” or “leave” the European Union (EU).
I realized that many ESCAPEMENT readers live outside the British territorial waters, and their understanding of Brexit may be small or even ignorant. Therefore, I will try to explain briefly the history of the relationship between the UK and the EU.Graham Chronofighter Vintage Ltd replica
Brief history of the European Union
The origins of the EU can be traced back to 1957, when six countries signed an agreement that led to the establishment of the European Economic Community (EEC). The founding countries include Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and West Germany. The reason for EEC is that economic cooperation between member states will reduce the risk of war between members.
The United Kingdom tried to join the EEC in 1963, but the application was rejected by President Charles de Gaulle. It is said that French leaders do not want English to replace French as the main language of the European Economic Community. In 1973, the UK eventually joined the EEC, but the relationship was short-lived. Two years later, a referendum was held and asked if voters would leave or leave. The result is that 67% of the votes are kept in the EEC.
During the union with the EEC, the UK experienced a period of dissatisfaction. When Margaret Thatcher was prime minister, she strongly protested the country's contribution to the European Economic Community. Subsequently, the UK’s contribution to the European Economic Community budget was reduced.
In 1993, with the signing of the Maastricht Treaty, the European Economic Community was replaced by the European Union (EU). While establishing EEC to promote cross-border trade, the EU has introduced a new framework that aligns member states in economic and political policies. This includes citizenship protection throughout Europe, including “human rights”. Many member states chose to use the single European currency, the euro, and although the UK rejected the offer, it chose to retain the much-loved pound.
Over the years, the British feelings towards the EU have become weaker. This love-hate emotion is often influenced by the ruling party at the time. For example, when Tony Blair became prime minister, he showed an open pro-European attitude that was not recognized by all his contemporaries.mens replica watch
The signing of the Lisbon Treaty in 2007 gave Brussels, the European Parliament, greater power. Later, in 2011, David Cameron vetoed an EU treaty. He was the first prime minister to do so. Cameron later vowed to re-elect Britain to join the European Union if he re-elected in the upcoming general election.
After winning the 2015 general election, Cameron tried to re-examine the relationship between the UK and the EU and solve a series of problems. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, his efforts have been in vain, and the relationship between the UK and the EU has reached an all-time low. The result of Cameron's defeated attempt was that in February 2016, he announced that he would vote on whether the UK should "retain" or "leave" the EU.
The politicians of various political parties did not follow the "party line", but voted according to their own wishes. Indeed, regardless of whether the politicians are "leftists" or "rightists," they are campaigning based on beliefs rather than political obligations.
The referendum was held on June 23, 2016. As a result, 51.9% of the votes announced that they wished to "leave" the EU, and the rest wished to retain it. Voting splits the family. Indeed, in my own family, two voted for "leave" and the other two voted for "reservation." Polite companies rarely discuss this as a topic of social taboos.
Since expressing his intention to withdraw from the European Union, many British ministers have travelled to Brussels several times in an attempt to negotiate the best possible agreement for the UK.
Recently, British Prime Minister Theresa May announced a “transaction” that has been approved by the European Union. After the Brexit, the 585-page draft exit agreement outlines new relationships with the European Union. In the next few days, members of the House of Commons will vote on the draft agreement, which was called “meaningful voting” on November 11th, about 1900 hours. Will the lawmakers approve or reject the deal? Hard to say.Corum Golden Bridge Golden replica
On March 30, 2019, the UK will leave the European Union. Still? Only time proves everything.
To "reserve" or "leave"
The “surplus” and “leftovers” clearly have different views. For those ESCAPEMENT readers who live overseas, you may want to know what "all the fuss" is. Our beautiful country is divided into two, half of which is the opposite of another.
At the time of this writing, I have been working hard to be fair. Obviously, I have my own opinion on Brexit, but I don't think the online media should be used as a platform for my own political thinking.
Whether an individual believes that the UK should "retain" or "leave" may depend on what they think of themselves. For example, do we think we are British or European? Can we both?
First, I am from Lancashire (a county in northern England). I am loyal to my region, local traditions, the scenery and history of the place I call it. However, I am British, British and European. Whether the UK leaves the EU will never change.
Graham Chronofighter Vintage UK Ltd
From the beginning, Graham Chronofighter Vintage UK Ltd has a personality with its colorful dial. The painted flag is engraved with the British flag (the British flag).
The "modern" hour and minute hands are gold and painted in white Super-LumiNova. The pen tip of the pointer surrounds the bold dial and echoes the golden index. The index is of the baton style, using Arabic numerals (without serifs) except at noon. The golden tones of the hands and indexing dials are palatial, enhancing the patriotism of this striking watch.
Graham is synonymous with chronographs and has been equipped with this practical feature for Graham Chronofighter Vintage UK Ltd. The silver dial with snails at 3 o'clock shows the number of seconds that are running. A large 30-minute chronograph at 6 o'clock matches the sub-dial above. Graham gave the sub-dial the title "British Brex?".
The date and date are displayed by two discrete apertures.
Graham Chronofighter Vintage UK Ltd, 44 mm in diameter, issued a bold statement. Indeed, the stainless steel case is properly scaled to maintain the incredible comfort while increasing the clarity of the dial.
Graham gave the watch a legendary timing trigger. The conspicuous device on the left side of the case gives the ergonomic start, stop and reset function of the stopwatch function.
At the heart of this watch is the Calibre G1747 self-winding movement. The balance has a frequency of 28,800 VpH (4 Hz) and the movement contains 25 jewels. The power reserve is sufficient to provide 48 hours of autonomy.
My news loan was provided in a blue calfskin strap, and the red and white stitching was ebullient. The brand does offer a silent alternative, but I think the strap attached to my loan watch made a brave and patriotic statement.www.bestluxurysale.com
