Catalogue Essay
Daniel Roth recreated wristwatches directly inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet’s pocket watches, producing some of the first modern perpetual calendar and tourbillon wristwatches. Roth left Breguet in 1987 to start his own brand in 1988.
He immediately created a personal design language, the most obvious being the unusual shape of his watches that later came to be defined as an ellipsocurvex, hands with pointed tips and dials with a horizontal guilloché pattern. Today, since his departure following its sale to Bulgari, Roth is working under his own family endeavour, Jean Daniel Nicolas – Jean being Roth’s son and Nicolas, Roth’s spouse.
Roth always worked with the greatest movement manufacturers of his time and the present chronograph houses a Zenith El Primero movement dubbed the DR500.
The present lot with the double-ellipse case fitted with bright white pinstriped guilloché dial, blued steel hands, brushed chapter ring and Roman numerals numbered 271 would be a classy additional for collectors looking for early Daniel Roth chronograph pieces.
