Thanks. Yes I read it when it was published and have since spoken with some of its contributors

There's a copious four-part series in Orologi di Classi by Denny Grigolo from 2018. It covers much of the same ground as the ACM piece. When I pointed this out - purely out of a wish to share information on a watchmaker who doesn't receive an awful lot of coverage - ACM opted not to post my comment. That was poor form.
I think I've mentioned elsewhere that Eurostar is probably the best record keeper of the watch industry. It has now digitised all of its publications from the 1950s to date and is about to complete that work taking archival sources back to the 1930s. It'll be a trove for anyone with a keen interest in horological history in the modern era.

The Daniel Roth Ellipsocurvex Moonphase
By: Rosneathian : March 6th, 2021-05:31
38mm x 41mm. Manual wind. 18K yellow gold. Power reserve, date disk, moonphase, and small (very small) seconds. This watch arrived yesterday from a merchant in Germany. Before and during the purchase process I connected with a number of seasoned Daniel Ro...
Thanks and you're welcome.

One of the pleasures of collecting is to reach into the back stories of individual watchmakers, brands and watches. I'm fairly eclectic so my web extends in a number of directions. I have to say though that I'm smitten by Daniel Roth past and present, and...
In time, perhaps. I've yet to find the particular watch for me

I've remarked elsewhere how issues of Eurostar from 1989 through to 2001 provide an excellent sweep of how Daniel Roth's work evolved. It's a trade publication, so much of the content is brand-driven. Nevertheless it's a thorough, educational reference an...
Congratulations on this beauty!

It’s not everyday an independent watchmaker creates a case for a watch that is both unique and instantly recognizable. And when the dial matched to said case is just as charming it’s imho a classic. Enjoy yours in good health!
Thanks for sharing these fine THG period examples.

Chance encounters stimulate curiosity. Curiosity develops into study. Study gives rise to admiration. Head, heart and gut all play their part in transforming observation into action. So, in my case, it took the better part of a year to get to this point, ...
Agreed!

I just got my Papillon back from full service too. I feel it’s kinda best of two worlds, many of my friends are concerned about indie future serviceability. But for DR or RD, it’s probably something I am not too worried. I was surprised when I first took ...
You have an extraordinarily beautiful watch.

When Bvlgari took over from THG, they didn't just buy the use of Daniel Roth's name (he couldn't use it himself after the buyout), they bought the designs and capacity to sustain production. Of course they did that for several years, during which they rel...
