Daniel Roth is widely considered to be one of the most talented and remarkable watchmakers of the past century. Raised in his grandfather’s watchmaking workshop, it is no overstatement to say that Roth has lived and breathed watches for his entire life, and at the time of writing has spent over 50 years in the industry, working for the likes of Audemars Piguet and Breguet. It was at the latter which he honed his own personal style during his tenure as Master Watchmaker of the brand.

In 1988, Daniel Roth founded his eponymous brand where he integrated classic design influences with his own identity, carving out his own space of the horological landscape. One of his first creations, the distinct ‘double ellipse’ case shape, went on to become a hallmark of the brand. Heavily influenced by Breguet, a brand which is intrinsically associated with the tourbillon, it is no wonder why Daniel Roth was a big adopter of the complication as well.

In recent years, Daniel Roth has gained immense popularity in the indie scene, with the present 2187 standing out as one of the most coveted references thanks to its distinctive double dialled design, with time telling on the main dial, and date and power reserve visible on the case back display.
