Who was George Daniels?

George Daniels, CBE, DSc, FBHI, FSA was a British horologist who was considered to be the best in the world during his lifetime. He was one of the few modern watchmakers who built complete watches by hand. But it was his creation of the coaxial escapement for which he will be most remembered. The movement, which removed the need to add a lubricant, has been used by Omega in their highest-grade watches since 1999.
