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 exact...
Look great!
Will they have white metal version? I would love to see it in flesh in white metal.... Thanks for sharing! Ken

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
