Interesting Film
Hello TRF people,
Last year I watched a film on Netflix (looks to be there still) called 'The Watchmakers Apprentice'. It's the fascinating, and very heart-warming story of a chap called George Daniels and the young apprentice he took on. If you don't know about George Daniels and this seems of interest to you then you're in for a treat. As a quick reference, Daniels essentially put horology on the map and produced many movements for some of the biggest watch houses out there. Incidentally, a friend of mine actually collects Breguet and has many. Additionally, he also has a timepiece previously owned by Daniels himself, which is amazing. Anyway, as a stocking filler this Christmas, my wife bought me the collectors edition DVD for it - comes with an extra disc, more special features and also booklets etc. Am watching it now, in fact. Here is a trailer https://youtu.be/NUNKHXj0K8Q Sorry for the terrible quality images on this one. |
