The latest pin‐ups to grace the Graham Chronofighter Vintage Nose Art Limited timepieces have spread their wings. They’ve moved on from the aviation origins of nose art to feel the rhythm of the inspiring sounds that captivated 1940s and 1950s dance floors. Four hand‐painted glamour girls grace the dials of four numbered limited editions, each one comprising 100 pieces. Without a second of hesitation they’ll whisk wearers’ imaginations off to times when Elvis was king and red lipstick ruled.
Belle speaks to today’s vinyl revival as she selects the discs that turned attention to freedom and emancipation after World War II. Linda has already hit the dance floor without any inhibitions about raised hemlines and eyebrows. Red guitar at hand, Lucia will strike a chord with nostalgic souls happy to have a flamenco soundtrack for their reminiscing. Chloe masterfully combines Moulin Rouge with pretty in pink.
All Graham Vintage Nose Art Ltd timepieces are Swiss made. They are powered by an automatic chronograph G1747 movement with 48 hours of power reserve. The new quartet comprises hand‐sewn calf‐leather straps in blue, black and light or dark brown. Blue and grey dials provide the canvases for the exquisite and expressive “noise art”.
The artistic vintage historical timepieces inspired by Nose Art feature decorative painting on the nose, fuselage of military aircrafts starting in the 40s, sun-brushed vintage dials with painted pin-up girls named Belle, Lucia, Linda and Chloé. The watches have a 44 mm diameter and are automatic chronographs with a day-date, fast-action start/stop trigger and come fitted with hand-sewn calf leather straps. The watches feature a caliber G1747, automatic chronograph movement which is fitted with an Incabloc shock absorber.
Each watch has a 48-hour power reserve. The watch case is covered with a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and the case back also features a see-through sapphire crystal. The watches are water resistant to 100 meters and have dials in charcoal grey, blue or black sun-brushed with painted pin-up girls.
