Luxury Swiss watchmaker GRAHAM last Friday celebrated the launch of the Chronofighter Oversize LA Kings, limited edition timepiece, with its debut at a special event at Westime in Los Angeles.
The event was hosted by Luc Robitaille, a Hall of Fame player and current club President, Business Operations, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009, and current Center for the LA Kings, Jarret Stoll.
GRAHAM recently announced it had become the Official Timekeeper of the Los Angeles Kings, and the release of the limited edition timepiece was designed to honor the winners of the 2012 NHL Stanley Cup Championship.
GRAHAM USA’s Managing Director, Samir Shah, and Westime’s President, Greg Simonian, came together to celebrate, and welcomed 150 selected guests to Westime’s new store on Sunset, where they were the first people to see the Chronofighter Oversize LA Kings that had just arrived in the US.
During the evening Luc Robitaille and Jarret Stoll mingled with the guests, taking photos and signing autographs, while also being interviewed by attending media.

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 as some NHL hockey stick, which 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.
Set in stone on the side of the case at 3 o’clock is the 2012 Stanley Cup victory. The “2012” inscription is engraved alongside a white diamond (0.014 cts), while the Players’ version of the watch will feature a black diamond.
