Daniel Roth, a renowned independent watchmaker, established his own manufacture in 1989 in Vallée de Joux. His unique aesthetic codes, including the double-ellipse case and pinstripe guilloché dials, set him apart from other watchmakers. His watches were known for their intricate designs, including the tourbillon with an 8-day power reserve, the instantaneous perpetual calendar, and the Westminster Grande Sonnerie Carillon.
Daniel Roth was a key brand name in independent watchmaking in the 1990s before being acquired by the Bulgari Group in 2000. The steel Daniel Roth Small Seconds 207 features a Ellipsocurvex case, stepped bezel, and straight lugs. The dial is hand-engraved with a line motif and guilloché pattern, with a brushed chapter ring with roman numerals.
