Recently, we had the opportunity to meet with Roger Smith replica cartirer Pasha de watch while on a US tour.We got to handle two of his watches, and let us just say.wow.It is Smith's traditional take on watch that has made him sought after by some of the world's most important collectors.His watches are traditionally British, and often take the form of what many would describe as Pocketwatch-like.Smith has produced only 35 Series 2 watches to date, and he's been them for coming up on three years.The craftsmanship and care that goes into Smith's Series 2 watches is nothing short of extraordinary.Take a look at the video below to see Smith explain:On top of Series 2, which have becomes Smith's calling card, he will occasionally accept one-off bespoke commission orders.
Smith happened to have one such commission with him replica cartirer Pasha de watch when we met; a grand date flying tourbillon.This elegant piece is one of the most impressive pieces of hand-made haute horology we've come across.The engraving on the dial, the grand date complication (designed by Smith himself) and of course, the robust flying tourbillon make this watch nothing short of a true sleeper.To the layman, this watch may not look like much (the tourbillon is not visible from the front), but believe us when we tell you this, if you ever see someone wearing an R.W.Smith that looks like this, that man knows his watches.
This particular piece took Smith over three years to complete.Bespoke pieces from Smith range between £100,000 and £300,000.Roger Smith's watches are an incredible example of hand-made haute horology.In the spirit of John Harrison, Smith's watches, although certainly appreciated and wearable today, can be serviced and repaired just as easily today as they could've been two hundred years ago, and just as easily as they will be hundreds of years from now.These are truly personal creations, the likes of which you simply don't see replica cartirer Pasha de watch anymore.Click here to be taken to R.W.Smith's official webpage.
