Full-Cataloguing
Good to know:
- Made in the late 1990s, from the brand’s early Hour Glass era
- Accompanied by full set of accessories
- The legacy of the Daniel Roth brand, from the late 1990s through the early 2000s, can largely be divided into three periods: when Roth first established his marque after leaving Breguet in 1989; when The Hour Glass acquired a stake in 1995; and after Bulgari purchased the brand in 2001. Seasoned collectors pine for the rare, early pieces from before The Hour Glass era, which have become increasingly difficult to source and are swiftly acquired when they surface at market. During The Hour Glass period, Roth’s design language persisted, as evidenced by the guilloché dial and well-proportioned elliptical “ellipsocurvex” case.
- The Daniel Roth Small Seconds Automatic is a renegade beauty that does things differently. This disruptive stunner channels the visionary watchmaker’s time at Breguet, seen in details like the cheeky steel blued hands. Made in the late 90s, it fuses Roth’s irreverent spirit with his eponymous brand.
- The double-ellipse yellow gold case is a Roth signature that circumvents the crowd. Its audacious shape, conforming to neither round, square nor octagon, measures 41mm lug to lug x 35mm, bold yet comfy. The small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, with anchor-shaped hand, marries serenity and meticulousness.
- The hand-engraved grey dial dazzles, while the signature guilloché pattern and brushed chapter ring achieve legibility through color contrasts and Roman numerals. “DANIEL ROTH” is proclaimed at 12 o’clock. For the collector who knows, this is a chance to acquire a classic timepiece numbered 68 from a pioneer who brought independent panache mainstream.
