Introduction
Founded in 1989, Daniel Roth is long-established as one of the early entrants in the independent watchmaking space that has since ballooned with brands like Urkwerk, MB&F, and Richard Mille launching from the foundations that Daniel Roth laid. With their distinctive styling, fresh take on design, and technical prowess, the watchmaker quickly rose to fame. An emblematic example of their watchmaking style, this stainless steel Chronograph model features a stunning silver dial with vertical guilloche and concentric satin-finished chronograph counters and chapter rings. Pairing distinctive blued steel hands with heritage-inspired black Roman numerals, this Chronograph’s styling is unique in that it blends design cues rooted in watchmaking tradition with Daniel Roth's own innovative take on the industry’s processes, namely through their signature ellipsocurvex case - much like Richard Mille and Franck Muller's use of the tonneau case.

THE CASE
Featuring Daniel Roth's signature ellipsocurvex-shaped case, this example is unapologetic in its distinctive styling and uncompromising wrist presence.
