Roger Smith and Roland Murphy at the NAWCC National - June 2025

RGM 801/40-CE and Roger W. Smith’s new Series 6

I had the pleasure of meeting fellow watchmaker Roger W. Smith a few months ago during a panel discussion at the NAWCC National—and just this past week, he officially released the stunning Series 6 watch, which I had the opportunity to see up close.

We both admired each other’s work—Roger’s Series 6 is an incredible example of British craftsmanship, and he appreciated my RGM Model 801/40-CE, which represents our commitment to high-grade American watchmaking.

It was refreshing to discover that we share many of the same views on the art of mechanical watchmaking and where the craft is headed in the future: a truly inspiring conversation and a reminder of the passion that drives this industry.
