Daniel Roth was one of the most gifted watchmakers of his time and designed the Breguet wristwatches before establishing his own manufactory in Le Sentier and Geneva in 1989. His reputation was mainly based on his complex timepieces such as the Tourbillon with an 8-day power reserve or the Westminster Grande Sonnerie Carillon. The brand was taken over by the Bulgari group in 2000. The workshops in Le Sentier and Geneva are shared with sister company Gérald Genta.
