Watch Spotting: Roger Smith Wearing A Vintage Omega Seamaster Chronograph At The Screening Of The Watchmaker's Apprentice
Last night at Tribeca Cinemas in New York City, we were proud to attend the NY premiere of David Armstrong's The Watchmaker's Apprentice. The documentary film, shot in very last days of master watchmaker George Daniels' life, goes on to tells us not only of Daniels' contributions to horology, but also his relationship with his one and only true apprentice – Mr. Roger Smith. We'll have a recap of last night's events shortly, but first, we wanted to tell you what Roger Smith, arguably one of the finest watchmakers alive, was wearing. It might surprise you. 1 OF 1 One might assume Mr. Smith would be wearing one of his own watches – maybe a Series 2 or a Daniels Anniversary watch? Not so. You see, Mr. Smith's workshop of eight people (himself plus seven watchmakers) produces just 10 watches per year. Ten.

PAM01537 - First Panerai
I stopped by the excellent Panerai Boutique (attached to the David Rosas watch boutique) while visiting Lisbon this week. While I had looked at Panerai's previously, I had not been too serious about purchasing one because I find most a little large for my wrist size. However the 42 mm models intrigued me and looking at the online I knew I wanted to try some on.While in the boutique, the extremely helpful but not at all pushy sales associate did a great job walking me through the different models. I indicated a GMT model would be of particular interest, especially in 42 mm. She showed me several, but the PAM01537 really caught my eye. I really liked the blue second hand that was added to this model. The Power Reserve indicator on the dial was also something I quite liked. The GMT function with the forward and reverse quick 1 hour adjustments was also very slick. I thought it fit my wrist well too. The sales associate made me take a long hard look at the larger models as she ind
