This exceptionally rare and important, hand-made Daniels Anniversary watch, made as a collaboration between George Daniels himself and his apprentice Roger W. Smith, is the fourth piece to have been made and was completed and delivered in April 2010. It comes as a full set with box and papers, including paperwork signed by George Daniels, which only the early examples came with.
As the only approved pre-owned retailer for Roger W. Smith in the world, we are very proud to offer this beautiful example to the market. With a production run of only 35 pieces, this is certainly a very rare opportunity to acquire an Anniversary piece.
The inception of the watch came about as a means to celebrate the hand-made independent watchmaking philosophy that George Daniels espoused, 35 years after the invention of his famous co-axial escapement. At the time in 2008, George wanted to create an entirely new watch with 35 pieces to mark the Anniversary, made entirely on the Isle of Man. For this, he sought the help of his then heir apparent, Roger W. Smith, who designed and made the pieces.
Sized at 40mm in an 18 carat yellow gold case, it features straight lugs and a rounded stepped bezel. The Daniels Anniversary adopts a symmetrical dial layout, with a calendar sub-dial on the bottom left and a sub-seconds on the bottom right. Sitting below 12 o’clock, there is a fan-shaped power reserve indicator. The dial is silver and hand engine-turned, combining two different patterns to both create legibility and add depth to the dial. 18 carat gold chapters are inserted into the recesses of the dial, distinguishing the different sub-dials with the numerals and markers on the gold rings hand-engraved and filled with black ink. Finishing the watch off, with the exception of the hour hand that features a characteristically Daniels pointed arrow, simple 18 carat gold stick hands are used.
The movement is quintessentially Daniels in design, with form and function placed above all else. This was something that George Daniels highly valued; a purist in the technicality of watchmaking, which can be seen by the deceptively simple aesthetic of the construction. Of course, the movement is equipped with a single wheel Daniels Co-Axial escapement which in this style, was conceived by Roger Smith. The understated nature of the movement is finished off by the gold frosted finishing, a style favoured traditionally by the famous watchmakers of Britain. All numbering and lettering are hand engraved, capping off what is a truly hand-made and pure piece of horology, celebrating the relationship of perhaps two of the greatest watchmakers of our times.
This Daniels Anniversary comes with its original black alligator strap and impressive matching 18 carat gold deployant-clasp that was designed in the Isle of Man and made in Hatton Gardens in London.

Вторые, уже его самого, из серии 2













Roger W. Smith

Brand: Roger W. Smith

Movement: manual-winding

Case size: 38 mm
Crystal: sapphire
Strap: brown alligator strap from Roger W. Smith

This exceptionally rare and important, hand-made Roger W. Smith watch (number seven) is part of the first batch of nine Series 2s that were completed in 2006 and delivered in November 2007. Designed and made in the Isle of Man, the Series 2 is one of the smallest "production watches" in the world, with fewer than seventy examples created over a ten-year period.
As the only approved pre-owned retailer for Roger W. Smith in the world, we are very proud to offer this stunning example to the market. Furthermore, with a current waitlist for a new Roger W. Smith watch exceeding three years, this makes for a very rare opportunity to acquire one.
This example, in 18-carat yellow gold is in mint condition and has been tested for mechanical functionality. It comes as a full set with its original Linley box and paperwork.
Sized at 38mm in diameter, the yellow gold case of this Series 2 features straight lugs and a fluted crown. It has a sub-seconds at 6 o'clock and a power reserve indicator at 10 o'clock.
The silver, round dial has an outer chapter of hand engraved, black minute and Roman numeral hour markers which are filled with black ink. The brushed silver ring which the numerals occupy is fitted into the recesses of the dial creating a great depth to the watch. The sub-seconds and the power reserve indicator similarly utilises this technique. At the centre of the dial is a hand engine turned basket-work pattern, contrasting well with the different angled patterns found the sub-seconds and power reserve indicator. Finishing it off, the slender, yellow gold hour and minute hands are tipped with spades, an aesthetic feature unique to Roger W. Smith.
Unique to this piece, the original owner requested the chapter for the power reserve indicator to be made in 18 carat gold.
This watch is quintessentially a British watch, which is never more evident than when turning the watch over. The movement features a three-quarter main plate finished in the English style with frosting and gilding. It is numbered, dated and signed individually.
Furthermore, the movement uses the co-axial escapement that was invented by the late George Daniels as a lubricant-free and longer lasting alternative to the more traditional Swiss lever escapement. Interestingly, this particular example went back to Roger W. Smith several years ago for an upgrade as the owner requested the existing original two-piece co-axial escapement to be upgraded to Roger's then newly developed single wheel co-axial escapement.
