Inside the James Arthur Collection:
Patek Philippe Grand Complications
Video Presentation by Roland Murphy
The video presentation takes a look at some of the watches in the Patek Philippe collection once owned by noted horological collector James Arthur.
Roland Murphy founded the RGM Watch Company in 1992. The company keeps the great traditions of fine Watchmaking, with modern manufacturing coexisting with antique, hand-operated machinery.
Mr. Murphy began his journey in horology at the Bowman Technical School in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Seeking to deepen his expertise, he continued his education at the prestigious WOSTEP program in Neuchatel, Switzerland - a global center for traditional watchmaking. Murphy launched his professional career in 1987 with the Hamilton Watch Company, where he quickly rose through the ranks to become Technical Director of product development. Driven by a passion for American craftsmanship, he founded RGM Watch Co. in 1992 in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. In 2007, RGM achieved a historic milestone by introducing the first high-grade mechanical movement produced in series in the United States since 1969 - reviving a proud tradition of American watchmaking and positioning RGM as a leader in the modern resurgence of domestic horology.

Don’t forget The Chapter now has a Facebook page!
Thanks to Chapter Member Dennis Lane of Smithfield who volunteered to set up and manage a Facebook page for chapter members. This provides an excellent opportunity for chapter members to communicate with each other. You can share your photos, your questions, and even your answers and suggestions.
If the Chapter has an email address for you, you should have received an ‘invite’ from Dennis. If you did not or perhaps have misplaced it and wish to participate on the Facebook page, please contact Dennis at ammidede@aol.com or at (757) 365-0402 or (757) 810-5997. Dennis will be happy to set you up as a user.
