Pdf Ahead of Their Time: Innovative Journey of a 5th Generation Jeweller
Description :
Story of a true fifth generation jeweller as told by a clock. Not just any clock, but a timepiece that has followed this family's departure from Glasgow, Scotland in 1871. Having created a watch commissioned by Queen Victoria for eldest son Prince Edward, Patriarch Daniel Buchanan was awarded a coveted Royal Warrant declaring him official watchmaker to the Queen. Seeking challenges and opportunities beyond the United Kingdom for his 12 children, Daniel sold his business and arrived with family in NYC, and shortly thereafter settled in and opened his first store in Petersburg, Virginia. The story follows 175 years of the family's expansion, success and occasional setbacks.
