Hello ForumnersAt the AHCI's stand at the Basel fair, I had the chance to chat with Roger W. Smith, a pleasant young British watchmaker who's already made some very impressive pieces during his short career. So far he's made a number or pocket watches, the "No 2" shown below with perpetual calendar and tourbillon, assisted George Daniels with the production of the "Millenium" watch series and now has brought out a rectangular wrist watch under his own name.I find the visuals of these watches very attractive so without much text, I'll just post the images from the CD he gave me for your viewing pleasure:Roger W. Smith "Wristwatch" with its gilded movement. The watch will be manufactured in a small series, price approx. 19,000 USDNo.2 pocket watch with perpetual calendar and tourbillonNo. 3 pocket watch with twin-barrels and remontoirGeorge Daniels "Millenium" watch (only Roger's personal watch is signed this way) with co-axial escapement. Movement is based on Omega's Caliber 2500 (ETA 2892 with co-axial escapement) and was finished and assembled by Roger.RegardsHans4/11/03

Celebrities just can't get enough of their luxury watches. Why? Luxury watches exude style, quality and function and they scream power and success �C they're a status symbol.
