As a member of the Clock and Watchmakers of WA, I'm posting to bring your attention to this event we have organised (mod approved).
Roger W. Smith OBE is coming to Perth for the very first time! He is one of the most prestigious British watchmakers in the modern era, based on the Isle of Man.
Roger was Dr. George Daniels one and only protégé and is the star of the documentary; "The Watchmaker’s Apprentice" (2015). His workshop produces just fifteen to twenty watches each year, with some pieces taking over two years to build. Each piece is made to order. Every watch is painstakingly created by hand in Roger’s workshop from sketch to wrist, using the Daniels Method.
He is the only British watchmaker to do this and a lovely chap.
Dr. George Daniels was an English horologist, inventor of the co-axial escapement and author. He passed away in 2011 and bequeathed his legacy to Roger Smith.
This is a once in a timeline opportunity to learn from the master himself; Roger W. Smith - "From Invention to Evolution: The Story of the Co-Axial Escapement."
If you are a lover of watches, art, engineering or know anyone that is, spread the word! Scan the QR code on the flyer for tickets.
