Now, compare that to the $2,389,500 result of the platinum-cased George Daniels Anniversary 00. Yes, this is a George Daniels watch in that it bears the man’s name on the dial and features an aesthetic he helped create. But it was not handmade by Daniels himself in the same way the Edward Hornby pocket watch and Spring Case Tourbillon were. The Anniversary 00 that was auctioned off was completed by Roger Smith, circa 2019, almost a decade after Daniels’ death.
