After the death of Tompion in 1713, Graham took over their business premises. George Graham became the most important pillar of the scientific and clock making industry. In 1721, Graham was elected as the Fellow of the Royal society and he contributed papers to its scientific journal known as the Philosophical Transactions. In 1722, he became the Master of the Clockmakers. 1751 was the year when Graham left this world.
