A gentleman, car enthusiast, horological genius and master craftsman. We'll not see his like again.

Oh that is a shame. A true english master craftsman, of the like we'll not see again.

I'm hoping to see a Daniels in the flesh for the first time at Salon QP next month.

RIP

Sad news. Never seen a Daniels watch other than in pictures, but enjoyed reading his watchmaking book a few years ago. RIP a watch and car man.

Sad news.

I was watching part of http://www.webofstories.com/people/george.daniels?... when I heard the news. Well worth watching for insight into a talented and hardworking life.

"What's that tractor on your wrist?"

Overheard comment to a Rolex wearing BDC member several years ago.

He wasn't kidding about the Bentley either. His magnificent collection of cars is on auction - he had a good eye for cars I have to say...
