1: He had never imagined then that he would make the universe by hand. But he did. 2: Every component of his Space Traveller's Watch—as of the 36 other watches he made, each unique, over his 42 working years—was produced from scratch. [...]113: He made the screws, the springs and the levers, the pallets and gears, the hands and the plain, often numberless dials . 4: He also made the tools that made them, except for the lathes and turning engines. 5: No one else had ever learned the dozens of necessary skills. 6: But after years of teaching himself horology from clocks bought for a bob or two at jumble sales, or comrades' broken watches in the army, or the wonderful Breguet and old English timepieces he went on to restore for collectors, he had begun to think, why not?

1:那时候丹尼尔斯还从未想象过自己能够将整个宇宙纳入一块表中。但是他确实做到了。2:在42年的制表生涯中，他一共制作了37块表，每一块都独一无二。其中之一便是“宇宙旅行者之表”。[...]113:表的每一部分都是由他亲手制作，没有使用任何外来的零件——螺钉、弹簧、杠杆、托盘和齿轮、指针以及简洁但是有无数刻度的钟面。4:连用来制作这些零件的工具都是他自己做的——用来发动引擎的车床除外。5:在丹尼尔斯之前，没有人学过如许多基本的制表技术。6:他自学钟表制作多年，这些钟表有的是花一两个先令从旧货摊上买来的，有的是军队军官用坏了的，还有的是他为收藏者修复的精致无比的宝玑（Breguet）表和古老的英国座钟。多年后，他自问：为什么我不能自己制表呢？
