George Daniels
Known for his Co-Axial escapement and the Daniels Method
One of the most influential watchmakers of the 20th century, Dr George Daniels was known for creating and finishing his watches entirely by hand. His skills, noted in the Daniels Method, have been as influential as his invention of the Co-axial escapement has been consequential to the evolution of mechanical watchmaking. Known for his pocket watches, the small number of wristwatches Daniels made in his workshop on the Isle of Man, and the ones that bear his name, are rare and highly coveted.
