A Legacy Reimagined

Daniel Roth is a name that resonates with connoisseurs of fine watchmaking—a brand born from the vision of one of the most influential independent watchmakers of the 20th century. Established in 1988, Daniel Roth quickly distinguished itself through its unique design language and technical sophistication, becoming a cornerstone of modern independent horology.

At the heart of the brand lies its signature double-ellipse case, a bold yet elegant silhouette that defies convention while paying homage to classical proportions. This instantly recognizable form, paired with hand-guilloché dials, Breguet-style hands, and in-house complications, reflects Roth’s dedication to timeless aesthetics and mechanical purity.

Daniel Roth’s early creations were celebrated for their complex movements, including tourbillons, retrogrades, and perpetual calendars—each meticulously finished and assembled in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland. These watches were not just instruments of time but expressions of artistry, crafted in limited numbers for discerning collectors.

After a period of dormancy, the brand was revived in 2023 under the guardianship of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, a move that ensured its legacy would be preserved with integrity and excellence. The new era of Daniel Roth is marked by extreme attention to detail, limited annual production, and a return to traditional watchmaking values. The inaugural model of this renaissance, the Tourbillon Souscription, reinterprets Roth’s original designs with modern finesse while remaining faithful to the brand’s DNA.

Each DANIEL ROTH timepiece today is powered by the DR001 calibre, a manually wound movement developed and finished in-house, showcasing the brand’s commitment to horological independence. The watches are produced in very small quantities, emphasizing exclusivity and artisanal quality over mass production.

DANIEL ROTH is more than a watch brand—it is a celebration of La Montre Objet d’Art, where every detail is considered, every surface is refined, and every watch tells a story of passion, precision, and permanence.
