Dear Readers, Dear Friends,
SalonQP is proud to announce that it will be hosting the preview screening of the film The Watchmaker’s Apprentice at this year’s event. The documentary traces the extraordinary horological work of Dr. George Daniels CBE and his protégé Roger W. Smith, and the fascinating relationship between two of the most renowned watchmakers of our time.
One of the greatest watchmakers of the past 200 years, Daniels – who passed away in October 2011, aged 85 – had a lifelong passion for the intricate details and inner workings of watches that led him to become one of the most revered innovators in the horological sphere. The Watchmaker’s Apprentice contains the last interview conducted with Daniels, just months before his death, and unbridled access over 18 months of filming gives an unprecedented insight into his captivating workshop, astounding collection of vintage cars and beautiful home.
The title subject of The Watchmaker’s Apprentice, Roger Smith, was the only man Daniels considered worthy of shadowing him and continuing his life’s work. As an eager young student, Roger was inspired by Daniels’ visit to his watchmaking school in Manchester – so much so that he later boldly walked into Daniels’ workshop with his own handmade watch. Daniels, unimpressed, sent him home with his rejected timepiece. Five years later, Roger returned to present him a new watch. This time Daniels was satisfied, and so began the relationship of master and pupil, one built on mutual respect and friendship, made more interesting because of their entirely disparate personalities.
The Watchmaker’s Apprentice, from Dam Productions, is narrated by acclaimed British actor John Rhys-Davies, and features interviews with friends, family members and colleagues of the two watchmakers, as well as the men themselves.
The exclusive preview of The Watchmaker’s Apprentice will take place at SalonQP, with a special introduction by Roger W Smith. A limited number of tickets to the film can be purchased by visiting www.salonqp.com or by telephoning 020 7428 2916.
