His innovative solution resulted in the travelling date aperture concept, which has been embraced by the wider watchmaking community.
Based on Roger’s established calibre with its 20 year history, the Series Six is a new British watch that combines a beautiful aesthetic with technological innovation and reliability. It is, like all Roger’s work, a truly original combination of three-dimensional mechanical architecture and art.
Every watch is painstakingly created by hand in Roger’s workshop from sketch to wrist, using the Daniels Method. He is the only watchmaker to do this. His workshop produces just fifteen to twenty watches each year, with some pieces taking over two years to build. Each piece is made to order.
Roger’s approach is to continually and obsessively push the boundaries of mechanical watchmaking. His ongoing development of the co-axial escapement has improved mechanical efficiency and longevity, leading to service intervals way beyond industry standards.
The Series One is a time-only wristwatch inspired by The GREAT Britain (2013). Its design prioritises simplicity, allowing the focus to remain on Roger’s approach to the art of watchmaking.
The Series Two features a power reserve complication and was Roger’s first wristwatch to be designed and created in-house using the Daniels Method. Its 20-year legacy makes it the cornerstone of Roger’s body of work.
The Series Three features a retrograde calendar complication and its symmetrical display offers a refined aesthetic.
The Series Four, with its instantaneous triple calendar and moon phase, features Roger’s revolutionary travelling date aperture. This concept solves the legibility issue created by some traditional date hands. On the moon phase, the night sky is captured in Roger’s signature purple-blue hue, with bleached silver moons and riveted gold stars.
The Series Five is the Mark 2 version of the Series Two Open Dial. Its time and power reserve dials float above the movement, revealing the depth of the mechanism, its intricate detail and the traditional hand finishing that runs throughout Roger’s work.
The Series Six, with its instantaneous date complication, is a celebration of Roger’s revolutionary travelling date aperture. The watch displays hours, minutes, and seconds on a floating dial centre, with the date indicated on a lower level.
