Live from SalonQP in London, the first pictures of the Daniels Smith anniversary watch
Good to see both Roger Smith and George Daniels in attendence at the event. I will write more about the event later, but definitely the star of the show, the Daniels Smith Anniversary watch with co-axial escapement. The drawings of the watch did not exactly light my fire, but the watch itself is stunning. My congrats to the lucky few who are on the list. It will be worth the wait. 
Also on show was a Roger Smith Series 2 open face dial which with the blued hands is a stunner and to my mind his best work to date. Great to see both esteemed watchmakers at the Salon.
More later

PS sorry about the poor quality of the watch pictures, only I had to take them through glass with spot lighting overhead.

Look great!
Will they have white metal version? I would love to see it in flesh in white metal.... Thanks for sharing! Ken
The watch is going to be only in colored gold except for the 4 sets of 4 which are suppose
to be in 4 different metals including white gold and platinum. Don't know if those sets are spoken for (if they are truly going to be made) but go for it then you can have the best of all worlds. Mitch
An open face...
dial with blued hands? I choke with tears trying to imagine it. Cen@jkt
Gorgeous

You are causing pain....

I can help here...
Roger's wife Caroline recently sent me these... this a new 40mm case size for RW Smith And here are some live pics I took in July of an original size case Open Dial Series 2 in a RG execution, the first version Roger had ever made... Cheers, Tim...
My goodness, Tim. That is stunning.
I have to agree with Don. I don't know much about Roger's work, but this is my favorite of what I have seen. Best, CaliforniaJed
Knowing you Jed and your appreciation of classical watchmaking,
You will love Roger's work. I don't think there is anything out there that really compares to it. Of course that comes with a price tag to match, but then again it should! Cheers, Tim
Thanks Tim
but honestly this is a watch one can share a life story with it... i feel like i can talk to this watch for REAL... an english charm . Faisal
It is amazing, but almost more amazing is Roger and his love of watchmaking
Talk about a dedicated and focused fellow, pursuing his passion of traditional English style watchmaking under his own terms, well almost his own, having Dr. Daniels to focus his attention and comfort for advice if and when needed. I'd say the other aspec...
