The open dial of this timepiece showcases an impeccable level of craftsmanship. It involves the application of diamond paste on tin plates, resulting in surfaces that exude an unparalleled luster. Take a moment to appreciate the winding/setting mechanism, a symphony of meticulously black-polished components, including the yoke, yoke spring, set lever, and intermediate wheel bridges. The 18 karat gold bridges, meticulously crafted with utmost precision, are also adorned with the same black-polished finish. The artistry extends further as the hour/minute ring boasts hand-engraved numerals and meticulously hand-drilled minute-holes. These minute holes and numerals are then delicately filled with rich black lacquer, enhancing the elegance and allure of the overall design.

Crafted using 18 karat white gold, the 40mm prototype case showcases impeccable soldering using the Daniels Method. This intricate technique involves shaping a flat piece of gold into a flawless circular ring, skillfully soldered together for a consistent and exquisite finish. The bezel, caseback, and straight lugs are also masterfully crafted using this method, resulting in a seamlessly elegant design. The open-worked dial, framed by sapphire crystals both front and back, allows for a captivating view of the intricate inner workings, whilst the hand-turned and milled crown, manufactured with an index plate, offers an unparalleled tactile experience while winding and setting the watch. Working in perfect harmony, the set lever and set jumper ensure a fulfilling user experience.

The movement of this timepiece showcases a freesprung Quadrajust balance, precisely regulated through the utilization of four 'D-shaped' inertia weights integrated into the Series 2 balance wheel. This ingenious design ensures exceptional accuracy, allowing the watch to maintain precise timekeeping at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour. What truly sets this timepiece apart is its visionary approach to longevity. Roger W. Smith perceives the escapement not merely as a timekeeping device, but as a mechanism that enhances its overall durability. Inspired by Daniels' groundbreaking designs, the implementation of a smaller diameter flat hairspring minimizes amplitude differences between horizontal and vertical positions, resulting in extended service intervals and reduced lubrication requirements.

Enhanced with intricately raised and engraved bridges and a balance cock, adorned with an exquisite selection of refined English floral motifs, this timepiece stands as an extraordinary masterpiece. The inclusion of gold chatons and flame-colored screws exudes an air of refined elegance, casting a mesmerizing purple-blue hue that captivates the observer's gaze. The implementation of traditional chatons, meticulously securing the jewel bearings with precision using two or three screws, not only ensures effortless removal from the bridge or main plate but also enhances the intricate allure of the watch. Every meticulous detail of this exceptional timepiece converges harmoniously, resulting in a captivating symphony of craftsmanship and aesthetic splendor.

Additionally, experience the unparalleled craftsmanship of the Linley wooden presentation box, meticulously crafted to accompany this exceptional timepiece. Within its confines, a sentimental treasure awaits—an eloquently handwritten letter by none other than Roger W. Smith in 2010, immersing you in the watch's profound heritage and genuine essence. Complementing this remarkable offering, an Ownership & Service History Booklet and a Certificate of Authenticity, are compiled to establish the watch's provenance and enduring worth.
