Made in 1999 in a limited edition of 999 pieces. The present lot is numbered 88.
Dr. George Daniels is recognised as one of the greatest watchmakers of the 20th Century. In 1981 he received an MBE for his services to horology - the first watchmaker ever to receive such an honour.

The revolutionary escapement is designed with almost no sliding friction and therefore there is no need for lubrication on the acting surfaces.
