well, i don't own one of his masterpieces...
as i don't have that kind of money, but i visited his shop in the fall of 2006 and i've seen him working...Daniel Roth's pieces are on the par with Dufour in terms of finishing...considering that he finishes a piece in about 2-3 years you can expect the highest level of watchmaking in a JDN piece...here are some pics from his shop...
and myself in front of his house where he does all the work...
cheers,

Here are some shots I took of a JDN round watch ("No 0") at Baselworld this year.
I think the finishing on this piece speaks for itself. Cheers Tony P...
Central PR indicator?
Thanks Tony, Great shots under difficult conditions I bet. Is that a centrally mounted 60 hour power reserve indicator? Interesting that it goes the opposite direction on the rectangular cased version. Andrew
what a beauty!
thx for sharing! noticing its dial shares some flavor with montblanc's villerets Best, Ed~
Thanks
Thanks Andrew, Tony, for the additional photos. I don't have a trained eye my impression is that this may well be the next AHCI "golden child". Interesting that there is no radial flip for the "60" on the PRI, but there is on the seconds indicator.
