Blue plaque honour for watchmaker George Daniels
A commemorative blue plaque has been unveiled at the former Ramsey home and studio of the late watchmaker Dr George Daniels in the Isle of Man.
The London-born watchmaker moved to the Isle of Man in 1982, dedicating himself to watchmaking in a career spanning 60 years.
Fellow watchmaker Roger Smith said his achievements were "astonishing."
Homeowner Martin Rissbrook, who now lives in the property, added:" We were extremely honoured. He was a very important part of watchmaking history."
It is the third blue plaque to be awarded on the island, following the Bee Gees and Archibald Knox.
