George Daniels lives in London. He is a watchmaker. His work continues the tradition of the English watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today this condition is almost dead. Daniels is the only man in the world who designs his own watches, makes all the parts himself, and then put them together.
A Daniels watch is the product of his hands alone. One of his watches, which is now in an American museums, took 3500 hours to complete. He usually makes one watch a year. Each one is written “Daniels London”, and costs about 10000 pounds. Of course, these are not ordinary watches they were very beautiful and will last three centuries.
George Daniels has always been interested in clocks and watches. When he was five, he used to take his father's clock to pieces, and put it back together again. At school he used to repair the teachers' watches. When he was in the army he repaired watches in his spare time. After he left the army, he became a professional watch repairer. Then from 1958 to 1968, he restored antique(古式的) watches, and finally began making his own watches.
He is now internationally famous and many people would like him to make watches for them. Most of them will be disappointed. He chooses his customers very carefully indeed. “It must be someone who understands the subject,” he says, “not someone who will leave the watch in the drawer and only show it to dinner guests.”
