Description
George Daniels's remarkable story is one of triumph over adversity. Born into poverty, he rose to become the greatest watchmaker of the twentieth century, inventing the revolutionary co-axial escapement that transformed portable mechanical timekeeping. Daniels's passion for mechanics extended beyond watches, encompassing historic motorcars and a love of collecting. This revised edition of his autobiography includes a new section featuring over thirty pocket and wrist-watches he designed and crafted himself. Witness here the triumph of intelligence, ingenuity, and matchless skill in overcoming unpromising beginnings, as Daniels shares his remarkable life story.
