For those serious collectors demanding the ultimate in exclusivity,
the workshop is able to create one of a kind pieces, individually suited to a client's
desires. In earlier centuries, such watches were generally ordered by and destined for
members of the aristocracy. Today, the Roger Smith Workshop prides itself on the fact that
it is one of the few watchmaking ateliers in the world able to offer such extraordinary timekeepers.
In terms of scope, Unique pieces can run the gamut from large projects such as standing clocks,
to pocket watches and wristwatches. The types of horological complications that can be realized
encompass such possibilities as sidereal time indicators, détente escapements, perpetual
calendars, celestial chart indications, regular and split seconds chronographs, minute repeaters
and Grand Sonnerie movements, as well as many other complications in various configurations and
movement shapes. Mr. Smith is able to personally advise private clients about each of these considerations,
in addition to the types of materials, decoration, engraving and other types of personalization available.
Please note that the creation of such museum quality pieces is a time consuming work with a specific
amount of waiting time required for completion. |
