IdentityDaniel Roth

Founded in 1988 by Master Watchmaker Daniel Roth, the brand pioneered independent watchmaking by setting industry standards with its unique double-ellipse case and unwavering commitment to excellence in design and horological craftsmanship. Revived in 2023 with the support of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, the brand remains true to its DNA rooted in high-watchmaking principles and discreet, elegant designs.The rebirth of DANIEL ROTH began with a Tourbillon, Mr. Roth’s favourite complication. It was introduced as a limited Souscription series in yellow gold, followed by a rose gold edition. The Tourbillon honours the brand’s heritage, while embracing the future with a new in-house crafted movement, the DR001, with exceptional hand-finishings and a solid gold Clou de Paris guilloché dial. Breathing new life into the traditions of watchmaking, each piece features meticulous hand-finishings, technical mastery, and an understated, timeless style culminating in La Montre Objet d’Art

Minimalist beauty is best seen when every element is chosen with a purpose- nothing extra, just the pure, essential details that come together and speak on the tradition and artistry of what we create.
