George Daniels

A fascinating insight into the great man's workshop just popped up on my Youtube algorithms:

I have nothing but deep respect and admiration for people such as Daniels, such rare individuals. I would love to have met him.

George Daniels, and Roger W. Smith are, for me, two of the greatest luminaries in the history of British watch making. To own a piece by either of them is to hold a work of art in your hands. I'll never be so fortunate, but I'm glad there are people out there who can, just so they sustain the financial viability of this level of artisan workmanship. It's an ugly world at times, so to have beautiful things in it makes it that little less bleak.

You’ve articulated, beautifully, exactly my own thoughts. These people are latter day Newtons, Copernicus et al
