avec Daniel Roth!

So, Ladies and Gentleman, dear Community Members, it is time to celebrate:



Daniel Roth was always in the deep of my heart, I never forgot the first experience and impression, when I buy my first Daniel Roth watch for me, a beautiful textured and guilloched rosegold Datomax Model in 2009, just after starting my obsession about collecting wristwatches. I bought the watch in Basel, of course I was at the Basel Fair, for the very first and last time at once.
The shape of the case, the blued hands, the deeply textured and guilloched rhodium dial, the heavy of the case, everything was perfect and on such a quality, that I haven’t seen before in my life.
From that very first point I was and still I am a huge fan of Daniel Roth watches.

After collecting wristwatches more than 13 years I reached a point after I want to feel the same excitement and feeling when the love and passion has begun.
What could be the best medicament to cure my health and soul as a Daniel Roth watch?

So true:



Every Daniel Roth watch is unique.

But what lying in the stylish, old-school box?

A watch, which has strong character, a beautiful octagonal case, terrific dial and hands and a beautiful, legendary movement.
I found the watch at my beloved and favourite watch and jewellery store, in a little town close to my home, at the corner of the main street of the town. This store is one of the last stores in the world which still has Daniel Roth watches on stock.
Can you believe it? I have just bought a new Daniel Roth watch for me in 2021! Let’s see her majesty:



Salmon, salmon and salmon, yes, salmon dial! Richly guilloched dial, blued hands, roman numerals, steel octagonal case!

Look at the colour of the dial:



Look at the shape of the case:



Small but fine detail, the clasp:



Some movement shot of the ElPrimero caliber, the rotor is well decorated and personalized:





And, at last but not least, an obligatory wristshot from last evening:



What a rich, beautiful dial!

I think I found again my way and I hope that the haute horlogerie will find her right way also!

Thank you very much for your attention!

Truly yours,

Adam
