Has anyone seen this pic of young George Daniels
wearing a Nautilus? (Pic taken from article in internet) Looks like a 3700
It's in the Science Museum in London!
It belongs to the collection of Worshipful Company of Clockmakers who moved their collection there from its previous location in the City of London a few years ago.

If anyone is ever in London and has an hour or so to kill, it's well worth visiting
I had the immense pleasure of attending the exhibit this time last year where I met up with another Purist, Roman S. from Australia and had a blast. Massive historical horology on display! it's free to visit too...

Maybe even
The coaxial escapement Nautilus that he made in order to convice swiss brands (and Patek) to use his escapement
He did work with Patek on the coaxial for a period until the project was rejected. [nt]

yes, its in a museum here in London
He insulated the co axial escapement in it- as he was trying to sell it to Patek. Its mega beat up, but the history is amazing
