It’s been another extraordinary year for the watch world. That’s why the Swisswatches team sat down once more to compile a list of our top watches from 2025.
Roger-W-Smith
Ramsey, Isle of Man
Roger W. Smith is a British watchmaker and the only apprentice of George Daniels. In the 1990s, he collaborated closely with Daniels on the Millennium Project. In 2001, Smith established his own manufacture on the Isle of Man, where timepieces are produced in extremely limited numbers, entirely by hand and finished to uncompromising standards. Each watch exemplifies the finest traditions of British watchmaking and is fitted with the Daniels escapement, alongside exceptional hand-finishing throughout. The Series 1 to 6 collections explore different interpretations of time display and incorporate complex complications such as tourbillons, moon phases and bespoke indications. Limited anniversary editions, including the Anniversary Watch, mark significant milestones in the history of the manufacture.
