What do you know about George Daniels?
George Daniels lives in London. He is a watchmaker. His work continues the tradition of the English watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today that tradition is almost dead. Daniels is the only man in the world who designs his own watches, makes all the parts himself, and then puts them together.
A Daniels’ watch is the product of his hands alone. One of his watches, which is now in an American museum, took 3,500 hours to complete. He usually makes one watch a year. Each one is written "Daniels’, London", and costs about 10,000 pounds. Of course, they are not ordinary watches -- they are very beautiful and will last at least three centuries.
Clocks and watches have always fascinated George Daniels. When he was five, he used to take his father’s clock to pieces, and put it back together again. At school he used to repair the teachers’ watches. When he was in the army, he repaired watches in his spare time. After he had left the army, he became a professional watch-repairer. Then from 1958 to 1968, he restored antique watches, and finally began making his own watches.
He is now internationally famous and many people would like him to make watches for them. Most of them will be disappointed. He chooses his customers very carefully indeed. "It must be someone who understands the subject," he says. "Not someone who’ll leave the watch in the drawer only to show it to dinner guests."
