Graham Welcomes Back the NHL as Official Timing Partner of the LA Kings

Being married to a Canadian, I can assure you that there is a great attachment to ice hockey in the Henki home.  Hockey Night In Canada is now ready to roll again.  And here in the lower 48, most specifically California we are ready!  And I think, perhaps more than anything, the Stanley Cup Champions were maybe waiting for the right watch to come along.

Today it was announced that Graham is now the Official Timing Partner of the Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings.  And what better way to time all three periods than with a limited edition Graham chronograph.  More on the watch itself a little later, but here's the info. on this exciting new partnership with Graham and the Kings -

The Los Angeles Kings are back and ready to play the 2012-13 season with GRAHAM as the Official Timing Partner of the successful American ice hockey team. The Kings headed into the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs in 8th place in the Western Conference, and fought their way to the top, playing their final winning game on their home ice, for their first championship win. To celebrate this sought-after achievement and honor their hard work, GRAHAM has developed a limited edition in the vein of its adrenaline timepieces.

The Chronofighter Oversize LA Kings is highlighted with the LA Kings iconic team colors of silver, black and white. The start and stop lever on the left of the case, a renowned GRAHAM signature, is made of the same plain carbon material as carbon fiber NHL hockey sticks. It results from a very specific Swiss-made machining process. This means that the lever is a unique piece of carbon which provides the watch with more stiffness and enhanced usability.

So welcome back Hockey Night, wherever you may be!
