Roger W. Smith, Isle of Man–based creator of entirely British-made timepieces, unveiled its first range of watches in London at Salon QP in November. The range includes four lines, titled Series 1, 2, 3 and 4. Roger Smith said of the launch, “it is almost the fifteenth anniversary of the first production wristwatches issued by the Roger W. Smith Studio in 2001; namely the Series 1. Since then, having first developed and then stayed true to our ethos of hand-crafting all components within our studio, we have produced just 80 pieces.” Also shown at the launch was the brand’s unique GREAT Britain watch, which has been traveling the world over the past 18 months, making stops in various locales including Shanghai and Paris, to celebrate British innovation and craftsmanship.
