A twofold emotional feat from Daniel Roth

Il Giocatore Veneziano

Working in close cooperation with automaton maker François Junod, Daniel Roth has succeeded in creating, above and beyond the actual technical feat, an emotionally charged masterpiece: the perfect match between an Automaton representing a 16th century Venetian dice player, and a minute repeater wristwatch equipped with a miniaturised automaton.
The mechanical hand-wound Daniel Roth movement (Calibre 7300) strikes the hours, quarters and minutes on request, and is completely disconnected from that of the automaton – a challenge to which the Daniel Roth master-watchmakers have risen with impressive expertise.
The finishing is crafted in the inimitable Daniel Roth spirit: the Automaton is adorned in noble materials; the cases and dials are in gold; while each detail of the dial is hand-painted and then dried and fired in the oven.
