The George Daniels Anniversary Watch, his final ma The George Daniels Anniversary Watch, his final masterpiece will be showcased at our summer show 21-23 June. 
'The Daniels Method' is a simple phrase, but is woven with a staggering degree of skill and an obsessive amount of work. It describes the process where one man masters all the dozens of individual specialist avenues of the craft traditionally necessary to produce a watch. Before horological industrialisation, watchmaking demanded hand-skills by experts who took 8–10 years to become proficient at their narrow branch of craft. Those experts would spend a lifetime plying only that single discipline. Daniels mastered all of these, perhaps the first person in history to do so.

Celebrating Historical Pioneers: Mariam al-Astrula Celebrating Historical Pioneers: Mariam al-Astrulabi
Did you know that in the 10th century, a remarkable woman named Mariam al-Astrulabi revolutionized the field of astronomy? As an ingenious scientist and astrolabe maker in Aleppo, Mariam crafted sophisticated astrolabes—an ancient astronomical instrument used for solving problems related to time and the position of the stars. Her expertise not only advanced astronomical navigation but also left a lasting impact on science and technology.
Mariam’s legacy is a testament to the rich history of women in STEM, inspiring future generations to reach for the stars.
