Daniels and Smith would spend the next three and half years working side-by-side to bring that series, the Millennium, to life, returning sporadically to the studio to plan Danielss final wris****ch, the Co-Axial Anniversary limited edition. In 2001, after completing the former project, Smith set up his own workshop on the north side of the Isle of Man in order to focus on personal projects, starting with the Series 1, a Social Media Firewalls retrograde calendar.Caliber: Calibre 16 (Chronograph), 02T (Chronograph Tourbillon)Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph (Chronograph); hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph, tourbillon (Chronograph Tourbillon)Power Reserve: 42 hours (Chronograph), 65 hours (Chronograph Tourbillon)Winding: AutomaticFrequency: 4HzChronometer Certified: Tourbillon only Steel watches, of course, are not Patek's thing.
