Daniel Roth Watches

---

Both Daniel Roth's grandfather and great grandfather were watchmakers in the La Chaux des Fonds region in Neuchatel, Switzerland. Deciding to swap the snowy Jura Mountains for a warmer Mediterranean climate, Daniel's grandfather moved to Nice in the south of France and opened a watch repair business in the sun. Playing and working in the shop from an early age, when the time came for Daniel to select a vocation, watchmaking was an obvious choice and he enrolled in and completed a three year course for budding watchmakers in Nice.

Daniel began designing and building watches for Breguet at a small rented atelier in La Brassus before Breguet bought their own premises.

Daniel spent fourteen very rewarding years with Breguet and stamped his imprint on both the watches and the company.

He left Breguet to commence his next big adventure... his own brand - 'Daniel Roth'.

With an inspired distinctive new shape (how often has a new watch form appeared - before or since?), a large loan from the bank and a distribution agreement with Siber Hegner, a Zurich based, international distribution and marketing group, Daniel set about creating his new brand - centred around interesting, innovative, quality timepieces.

The experience and skills he learned at Audemars Piguet and Breguet led Daniel to steer his new company towards quality and innovative design; slowly but surely was the way he saw the new 'Daniel Roth' brand earning respect and building a good reputation.
