The George Daniels Horological Collection
Considered by many to be the best horologist in the world during his lifetime, George Daniels can legitimately be described as the father of modern horology. Watch as Sotheby’s specialists and the other leaders in the watch world discuss the watchmaker and his art.
Sotheby’s is honored to hold the sale of George Daniels’ collection which includes, not only those pieces made by him that he retained for his own pleasure, but also fine and rare examples of both clocks and watches by some of the most famous makers of the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries. Comprising his entire personal collection, the sale is truly a tribute to a life devoted to horology.
