Daniel Roth,
Daniel Roth is a luxury watch brand founded in 1989 by Daniel Roth himself, a Swiss master watchmaker with extensive experience in high-precision watchmaking. Here is an overview of the brand’s history:
1. Daniel Roth’s beginnings
Daniel Roth began his career in watchmaking in the 1970s, working for the prestigious house of Breguet, where he helped revive the brand by redefining the design and aesthetics of their watches, while refining the horological complications. Roth is credited with reintroducing Breguet’s elegant tonneau-shaped case and distinctive guilloché dials, which had a major impact on the brand’s image.
2. Foundation of the Daniel Roth brand
In 1989, on the strength of his experience and reputation, Daniel Roth decided to launch his own eponymous brand. His philosophy was to combine traditional techniques with modern innovations, creating watches that were both aesthetically beautiful and technically sophisticated. Daniel Roth watches are instantly recognisable thanks to their distinctive tonneau shape and advanced horological complications, such as the tourbillon and perpetual calendar.
3. Innovations and Complications
One of the first watches produced by the brand was a model with a tourbillon, a highly respected complication in the watchmaking world, especially at the time. Daniel Roth also introduced watches with perpetual calendars and moon phases, reflecting his desire to create technical watches for watch enthusiasts.
4. Expansion and international recognition
Thanks to the exceptional quality of its creations, the Daniel Roth brand quickly gained international recognition. It became synonymous with rare, top-of-the-range watches, attracting an elite clientele. However, the brand remained true to its artisanal roots, producing small series and emphasising craftsmanship.
In 1991, our company, Chronopassion, began representing the Daniel Roth brand with great enthusiasm. Today, with great gratitude to LVMH, we will be supporting the highly selective distribution of this iconic brand, with just four retailers worldwide. This exclusive partnership marks a new stage in the history of Daniel Roth, and we are proud to be part of it.
