Daniel Roth Small Seconds

Model: Reference 207

Movement: Automatic  

Year: Circa 1990s

Contents: Watch Only

Case: The case is 35x38mm making it one of the nicest Roth sizes in our opinion. The case is in honest shape with some signs of wear. The case has an open caseback and an early case number. The 35mm case wears perfect because of the 20mm strap. The case is known as the Ellipsocurvex case. 

Dial: The dial finishing is amazing. Brushed chapter rings for the hour and second tracks with pinstripe guilloche on the whole dial. The dial and blued hands are in fantastic condition.

Strap & Buckle: Our own handmade San Fran strap and the original Roth Buckle.

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.
