Born in Kirklinton, Cumberland, it was his scientific turn of mind that delivered George Graham from a life of obscurity to the heights of fame and success. With a desire to nurture the nascent genius, he left his hometown at the young age of fifteen for the prospects of London. And like numerous starry-eyed young men before, the city threw at him a golden opportunity – apprenticeship under distinguished British horologist Thomas Tompion.
Under his tutelage Graham learned the intricacies of his trade. Soon his skill and knowledge paralleled that of his tutor, noting which Tompion elevated him to the status of business partner. Their relationship was further cemented by the marriage of the master’s niece Elizabeth and the young watch maker.
Not satisfied with repeating the same old designs, he went on to make innovative contributions to watch-making and geophysics. His great ideas like the dead beat escapement were much talked about; and so were his contributions to geophysics. A man of excellent character, he was also humane and compassionate. In commemoration of the time pieces constructed for the Greenwich Royal Observatory he was conferred a membership to Royal Society, and became the first watch maker of the time to receive the honor. His body now rests in Westminster Abbey with his mentor and friend Tompion.
British Masters SA, a company floated in 1995, is a union between English and Swiss watch making and brings together the traditions and technical know-how of both nations. They have carried the legacy of the legendary watch maker forward and their designs like the Swordfish and ChronoFighter sells like hot cakes.

Differences between Nexus and the HTC One Desire
A few hours ago it has hit the HTC Desire (formerly known as HTC Bravo) and the most obvious question is what difference is there between the Desire and the Nexus One While both phones are virtually identical, there are some small differences.
As for the terminal itself is almost identical, except for some small design changes, as the speaker and the front-end design. Perhaps the most interesting difference in design is that the HTC Desire has a trackpad (tactile browser), while the Nexus One has trackball (the typical ball).
Furthermore, in terms of performance and technical specifications are virtually identical, since they have the same processor at 1GHz and could emphasize that Desire has more of RAM (576 MB compared to 512 MB of Nexus One). That yes, the HTC HTC Desire is the interface Sense, so the difference could be seen offset RAM for performance.
Finally, and for me the big difference is that Desire is the interface HTC HTC Sense, while Google’s Android phone 2.1 “pure” so that everything depends on the tastes of each. I personally prefer instead Android HTC interface Sense.
