Had the pleasure to photograph this rare beauty, a museum piece, but for some of you a personal collection watch.The spectacular George Daniels Millennium. Created in 1999 to celebrate Omega finally adopting Daniels’ revolutionary Co-Axial escapement, this watch was the ultimate victory lap for British watchmaking.The story here is incredible. This was Daniels’ first-ever "series" production, and it completely launched the career of his brilliant apprentice, Roger W. Smith. Originally meant to be just 12 pieces for close friends, demand exploded and they hand-crafted a total of 48 pieces. And only 7 ever made in white gold.
While the core movement came from Omega, the ex*****on is pure hand-craftsmanship. Every single textured silver guilloché dial and gold component was meticulously finished right inside Daniels' Isle of Man workshop. Special thanks to the magnificent Beyer Museum Zürich. Whenever you can, go and visit it, you won’t be dissapointed!
