Client Sotheby's

'This idea where one man designs and builds a complete watch from start to finish. That's something that George did and I will do probably till the day I drop dead.' - Roger Smith

Watchmaker Roger Smith and Daryn Schnipper, Senior Vice President of the Sotheby's Watch Division, recount fond memories with the great watchmaker and pioneer of the co-axial escapement, George Daniels. The art of independent watch making which bloomed from the practice of George Daniels continues to live on through the workshop of Roger Smith today.
