Inside The Creativity Of The Watchmaker

“Each watch is unique because I make it by hand (alone) along a painful journey of creating micro mechanical artistic expression that is, not for everyone. ~ DAS

“Imperfections of the Watchmaker’s mark should be part of the watch just as it was 200 years ago. I’m so far from perfect with many imperfections deep within who I am, so my unique creations will always bear the makers marks.” -DAS 

What We Do

Daniel A. Spitz is a micro mechanical artist that marries the know-how he has developed studying and working in Switzerland with a unique approach to haute horlogerie to create exceptional timepieces for a select few. 

As a recipient of the prestigious WOSTEP scholarship in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, Daniel A. Spitz was trained at the world’s most elite proving ground for high-complication watchmaking. This lineage carries with it a solemn duty: to preserve and pass on the specialized knowledge of the masters. By commissioning a Daniel Spitz timepiece, you are not merely a collector—you are a patron. Your support serves as a direct contribution to the survival and further development of an almost lost micro-mechanical art.

Open Source Watchmaking

We are also part of the open source watchmaking project SPEMPT “Échappement Partagé”  alongside independent Watchmakers Luc Monnet of Arts Mecaniques, and Cyril Brivet Naudot.

We believe in a new way to help other Watchmakers through the open source giving of knowledge that was in the past, hidden. The first project is the resurrection and modernization of the early 1800’s invention by the great Watchmaker Louis Richard. This project was spear headed and developed by Luc Monet and Cyril Brivet Naudot. You are supporting open source watchmaking by purchasing from all of us involved.
