The watches are crafted by German watchmaker, MeisterSinger, and are available for £1,405 (S$2,973) including VAT and free delivery within mainland Europe.
The watches feature top quality Swiss movements housed in stainless steel cases that are water resistant to a depth of 5 bar.
The dials are protected by hardened mineral glass and the Cordovan straps are crafted from smooth horse leather. There is a choice of three different face/strap combinations appropriately named: 'Abingdon', 'Cecil Kimber' and 'Cream Cracker', in celebration of the MG factory, the company's founder, and the most famous of the Works MGs respectively.
Graaf's love affair with the MG marque began with an Olde English White 1964 MGB he ran as a student, and was later cemented by an inexpensive quartz watch modelled on the grille of an MG TD. When attempts to replace the worn timepiece with a newer MG-branded one came to thought, he set about creating his own.
The MG Car Club assisted the cause, as did British Motor Heritage, which was sufficiently impressed with the project to license the use of the MG logo.
The foresight and determination of a passionate German MG enthusiast, Ernst Graaf, has resulted in a unique trio of quality timepieces, the design of which echoes the distinctive shape and structure of the MG TD radiator grille from the 1950s.
