This video embodies the whole reason why I have followed you all these years. I've commented many times on how I've loved the best of your videos when I hear your gentle voice guiding your children. And now here they are, working with you. Stay safe and I look forward to more of your father and son(s) videos. 🙂
Arguably, one of the most sublime yet profound moments in a Fathers life is saying to his son, “Go on then”. It’s an unspoken transpose of “ I’m right here and got your back “ There is no video on the YT that contains such poetic content encased in a real world demonstration of watch restoration. 1 of 1 scores 10 out of 10 and a star is born ⭐️ Be well Joe and thanks ❤
I am a retired Dentist from many years ago. We had to cast and polish our inlays and crowns ourselves. Watching you polish these watches brings back good memories and gives me a warm feeling. I also love to hear you speaking with your son. He seems a sweet and beautiful young man.
My father started with me when I was around 10 with electrical systems and mechanics. I grew up with him on the USAF flightline where the military aircraft lived. Shaped my life as you are doing now with Mr Trouble. Good on you, Mate!
This was a very special video to watch. Everything is for the next generation. It belongs to my children just as it does to yours. Seeing the love you show your boys fills my heart. May they and their children always know peace, prosperity and joy.
The Nekkid Watchmaker is quite the philosopher. He always makes me feel better about life and reminds me that it's only temporary (ending video remarks). Four years have gone by fast.
Joe, what I love the most about this video is your patience and loving direction you give to Trouble. He is lucky to have a dad like you. Train up a child in the way that he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Blessings to you both.
As I sit here with tears rolling down my face and remembering my father and all he showed me,as God took him way to young .I remember his words ..”treat how you would want to be treated”
Mine too. My Pops had "golden hands" and could fix anything. He did his best to pass it all onto me. I treasured our relationship, he too passed way too soon.
Oh fabulous. Just what the doctor ordered, another VT from my favourite watch tinkerer. Looking forward to watching this in about 30 minutes time, thank you Joe. ❤❤❤❤
I like when you told your son (about putting a bit of oil on the wheels) hey you’re not oiling the car 😂😂😂you are a beautiful father Joe. Love your content and humor 🇺🇸
Well done trouble! It's brilliant to see your skills for such a young man. I was still eating mud at that age. And well done to you too, Joe. Not only are you a master watch maker, you are a wonderful dad. It was really good to see you both interacting on this video. Thank you.
Well done Trouble! What a great memory you have to remember all the names of the parts. And 'well done' Dad for your calm and gentle (on camera at least!) voice.
Respect to you my friend, what a great thing to do and Trouble certainly has absorbed your skill and knowledge. You'll soon be the one watching on. Another beautiful restoration as usual.
Awesome that he's following in his dad's footsteps. Nothing should make a father more proud. Congratulations to you and great job in instructing them. Peace and blessings to you.
A big high five to Trouble and Germ, you have a great dad. Thank you so very much for reminding me of my time working with my dad as a decorator. He was the boss and pushed me but so much fun. Thank you
My favorite watchmaker working on my favorite brand and involving the next generation. WOW! Could have made a dog's dinner of it. But instead it was awesome!
You’re a wonderful person, husband, father and Horologist. I’m so impressed and inspired by teaching your son and your audience. Your Grace, patience and skill are outstanding. The world should take notice. I have. Peace unto you and yours Howard
What a lovely video - well done to Trouble in particular and well done to dad for being so patient ! This is a little donation all the way from Australia for Trouble in recognition of his excellent watch servicing skills!
Man, I have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos (and philosophising) but this one was absolutely fantastic ! If your kids enjoyed helping you a fraction as much as I enjoyed watching then they will be hooked on horology for life. Best wishes to you and your family.
Excellent stuff, loved it when you said to Trouble - are you filling up a car - and just throw it in 😆 How lovely passing on your knowledge to your son.
Magnificent job! Much kudos to your son - not only knew all the names of the multitudinous parts but where they fit and in which order - absolutely amazing! Good for you for teaching him so well. And the little banana wielding guy too who did not lose a single part? Wonderful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You Sir, are a treasure to watch. No pun intended. You're teaching skills are commendable as are your parenting ones. The world needs more men like you. Cheers.
More than the father son aspect, i found this video gut wrenching. I couldn't stop thinking about the lives lost, the memories that cannot be made, the lessons parents can no longer teach their children. Palestine will be free, my friends. For all that is right in this world, for all the darkness, there will be light.
Seeing Mr. Trouble working on this beautiful watch gives me hope for the future of this world. Clearly, he has been closely observing you as you work on watches and he's learned a lot. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for bringing us along.
I love how you just drop deep philosophical points into the end of your videos. You really do have a way with words and the world would be a much better place if more people shared your views.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you for being a father gently and firmly while showing how to laugh at yourself by getting and giving a bit of stick. Bravo!
Lovely video Joe, it was so nice to here your young sons vioce and his interest in this watch repair, you are a wonderful person to pass on these amazing skills to him 👍 Au
We watch your videos in our watch shop in Valdese, NC. Our customers often become captivated with your videos and stay a while longer and enjoy our free popcorn. It’s so nice to see you pass our dying art along to your son! He is very smart and will make a fine watchmaker! We’re always commenting on what a great father you are to patiently and lovingly impart your knowledge and have a little fun along the way. Your kids will have the best memories of their childhood!
Great to see that another younf aspiring watcmer is in the making. If i owned a watch of that calibre i would gladly allow the young man to restore my watch. I feel confident that he will be one of the greastet watchmakers we've ever seen. Thanks to the master himself. Well done dad. Oh and the strap he chose was a good choice👌🏼
I taught my son how to use a sewing machine when he was a teenager and now he's pushing 40 and still uses the old clunker I gave him to sew and repair things. Even small things you teach your children can lead to lifelong use of those skills and you can be happy in your dotage (I'm 71) that your child benefited from your tutelage. Good for you doing this!!
What a wonderful and sentimental episode. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with your children. As an educator, I think that it’s incredibly important that we not let our skills die with us. We spend a lot of time and energy mastering our crafts. To leave the world without passing that knowledge on would be a great injustice to future generations.
Trouble may find his own interests and passions. And take his own path as he gets older. But what you have taught him in watchmaking..... And most importantly in character..... Will make him a true asset and kind-hearted influence to EVERYONE in his life.
Wow. Massive respect to both of you. Joe, you have a wonderful son and willing apprentice. You are a great teacher and I’m amazed that Trouble knew so much.
Absolutely brilliant to see you both loving life together. Thank you for sharing it with us, what a great Father & son moment to treasure for ever sir 🤝
I really enjoyed this video. Loved watching Trouble disassemble the Longines. Great work! It took me back to my childhood when my Dad taught me how to tap kegs, clean beer lines and pull a beer in the pub we owned when I was young. Lasting memories
This video is so cute, I’ve heard your kid in the previous videos but I didn’t realize he was so into your work. I love this so much. Maybe he’ll start his own channel some day
When I first saw that Longines, I thought it was a lost cause. You restored it to a beautiful piece anyone - including I - would be proud to wear. Alien Fingers' fine-motor skills are coming right along! That's tough work for a 10-year-old, but he did it well (in my non-watchmaking opinion)! He did it better than I could have done it! I envy their relationship with you. For those of us who had "difficult" parents, seeing you work with your sons is a touching joy. Well done on all sides, Nekkid! Well done.
Amazing. Your son puts my tinkering to shame, but he does have a master teacher! Passing on skills we have to our children is great and I have tried to do that (not with watch tinkering though) but your patience is a lesson to us all.
It’s great to see a father passing on his knowledge to his son.
I agree.
The internal number is a global helpline to report child Labour! Only kidding..! Superb to see just how easy watch tinkering is. Child’s play..
Keep it up, trouble.
It's also great to see the son listening and respecting his father! I wish my grandkids were so well behaved.
Great video, wonderful teaching
This video embodies the whole reason why I have followed you all these years. I've commented many times on how I've loved the best of your videos when I hear your gentle voice guiding your children. And now here they are, working with you. Stay safe and I look forward to more of your father and son(s) videos. 🙂
I love father son moments like this. Priceless. There are a lot of young men who needed more of this when they were growing up.
Teaching the next generation. I hope my sons will be watching your sons do this 25 years from now.
A father teaching a son. A son honouring his father. A greatful audience remembering their own father's. Tears.
Bravo to you Joe. You've taught Trouble a heckuva lot more than how to restore a watch. And it really shows.
Arguably, one of the most sublime yet profound moments in a Fathers life is saying to his son, “Go on then”.
It’s an unspoken transpose of “ I’m right here and got your back “
There is no video on the YT that contains such poetic content encased in a real world demonstration of watch restoration.
1 of 1 scores 10 out of 10 and a star is born ⭐️
Be well Joe and thanks
❤
The child's first teacher is the parent! Well done!🎉
Blessings to you & your family!
Take care and be well!
Sandy from the States.
Apples don't fall far from the tree do they? Fixing a watch with his old dad will be a treasured memory.
I am a retired Dentist from many years ago. We had to cast and polish our inlays and crowns ourselves. Watching you polish these watches brings back good
memories and gives me a warm feeling.
I also love to hear you speaking with your son. He seems a sweet and beautiful young man.
Just had a scary thought of you letting a 10 year old loose on someone’s teeth :)
OMG I love to see this. A man and his son. A father sharing his knowledge and his time.
My father started with me when I was around 10 with electrical systems and mechanics. I grew up with him on the USAF flightline where the military aircraft lived. Shaped my life as you are doing now with Mr Trouble. Good on you, Mate!
Nothing better or more satisfying than being able to pass on a skilled trade to your children.
Joe!, you Bloody bellend! You just made me want to have Kids! You're just the father i wish i could have. Blessings to the Nekkid Fam!
This was a very special video to watch. Everything is for the next generation. It belongs to my children just as it does to yours. Seeing the love you show your boys fills my heart. May they and their children always know peace, prosperity and joy.
Trouble has some very good fine motor skills for a 10 year old ⌚🏅
The Nekkid Watchmaker is quite the philosopher. He always makes me feel better about life and reminds me that it's only temporary (ending video remarks). Four years have gone by fast.
Joe, what I love the most about this video is your patience and loving direction you give to Trouble. He is lucky to have a dad like you. Train up a child in the way that he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Blessings to you both.
Strong families build stronger communities and that's something needed everywhere. Bravo Trouble & Co.
Nekkid watchmaker jr. The future is secured! 🙏
As I sit here with tears rolling down my face and remembering my father and all he showed me,as God took him way to young .I remember his words ..”treat how you would want to be treated”
Mine too. My Pops had "golden hands" and could fix anything. He did his best to pass it all onto me. I treasured our relationship, he too passed way too soon.
This is the very definition of a guild: fathers teaching sons.
Amazing to see a young person who knows the names of all those parts and how they work together to make a watch.
Well done to trouble, please tell him that as a complete novice he could teach me a thing or two. Beautiful and heartwarming as always.
Great video from a GREAT dad! Cheers to you from down under 🇦🇺
...the son of a master is going to become a master himself...well done Nekkid junior 👍
Oh fabulous. Just what the doctor ordered, another VT from my favourite watch tinkerer. Looking forward to watching this in about 30 minutes time, thank you Joe. ❤❤❤❤
I’m so very proud of you as a father and mentor. Trouble is an excellent student and clearly Germ also has some mad skills. ❤🇨🇦
Well done Joe and sons! I loved this one. The only skill I could share with my two boys was cutting the lawn properly! Frank in Colorado
I like when you told your son (about putting a bit of oil on the wheels) hey you’re not oiling the car 😂😂😂you are a beautiful father Joe. Love your content and humor 🇺🇸
Well done trouble! It's brilliant to see your skills for such a young man. I was still eating mud at that age. And well done to you too, Joe. Not only are you a master watch maker, you are a wonderful dad. It was really good to see you both interacting on this video. Thank you.
Well done Trouble! 💪🏼 Joe, thank you for your inspirational work and words. Blessings to you and yours.
Well done Trouble! What a great memory you have to remember all the names of the parts. And 'well done' Dad for your calm and gentle (on camera at least!) voice.
I feel happiness in the thought that when the master retires (in a future far, far away), the apprentice(s) will move on with this channel.
Respect to you my friend, what a great thing to do and Trouble certainly has absorbed your skill and knowledge. You'll soon be the one watching on. Another beautiful restoration as usual.
Your best restoration for obvious reasons. You and your family are the best!
Awesome that he's following in his dad's footsteps. Nothing should make a father more proud. Congratulations to you and great job in instructing them. Peace and blessings to you.
This is truly heart-warming... great parenting.
I own a 23Z longines and I am so happy to see it another one in such capable young hands! This was a wonderful video, thank you for sharing this!
A big high five to Trouble and Germ, you have a great dad. Thank you so very much for reminding me of my time working with my dad as a decorator. He was the boss and pushed me but so much fun. Thank you
My favorite watchmaker working on my favorite brand and involving the next generation.
WOW!
Could have made a dog's dinner of it. But instead it was awesome!
You’re a wonderful person, husband, father and Horologist. I’m so impressed and inspired by teaching your son and your audience.
Your Grace, patience and skill are outstanding. The world should take notice. I have.
Peace unto you and yours
Howard
10 years old and he has picked all this up from his Dad, smashing video and proud to be a Nekkid revolutionary!
What a lovely video - well done to Trouble in particular and well done to dad for being so patient ! This is a little donation all the way from Australia for Trouble in recognition of his excellent watch servicing skills!
Joe and Trouble!! Thank you
Man, I have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos (and philosophising) but this one was absolutely fantastic !
If your kids enjoyed helping you a fraction as much as I enjoyed watching then they will be hooked on horology for life.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Excellent stuff, loved it when you said to Trouble - are you filling up a car - and just throw it in 😆 How lovely passing on your knowledge to your son.
It’s so awesome that your son’s are following your footsteps 👍
Awesome to have you all back! 😊❤
Magnificent job! Much kudos to your son - not only knew all the names of the multitudinous parts but where they fit and in which order - absolutely amazing! Good for you for teaching him so well. And the little banana wielding guy too who did not lose a single part? Wonderful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You Sir, are a treasure to watch. No pun intended. You're teaching skills are commendable as are your parenting ones. The world needs more men like you. Cheers.
Very well done sir. If everyone invested the time you do in the next generation, the world would transform into a better place for all.
More than the father son aspect, i found this video gut wrenching.

Seeing Mr. Trouble working on this beautiful watch gives me hope for the future of this world.
Clearly, he has been closely observing you as you work on watches and he's learned a lot.
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for bringing us along.
Wow! Well done Trouble! How it should be,learning at your father’s knee. Lovely film and what a result.
It was so good to see that your son had learnt so much from watching you.
It was a real pleasure to see Dad and Son working so well together.
I love how you just drop deep philosophical points into the end of your videos. You really do have a way with words and the world would be a much better place if more people shared your views.
Wow what a beautiful video. The knowledge you are passing on to your son is remarkable. You are so patient with him. ❤
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you for being a father gently and firmly while showing how to laugh at yourself by getting and giving a bit of stick. Bravo!
by far the beast content i have ever watched - love your work but love your sons work even better - from one dad to another - you area legend
Lovely video Joe, it was so nice to here your young sons vioce and his interest in this watch repair, you are a wonderful person to pass on these amazing skills to him 👍 Au
Jo. We'll done! I really love to see a father pass down knowledge.
Always wise words from you.
We watch your videos in our watch shop in Valdese, NC. Our customers often become captivated with your videos and stay a while longer and enjoy our free popcorn.

Love and peace to all! I've always enjoyed your commentary, and positive outlook, even when thing appear very gloomy. Warm regards, always. John.
What a lovely video of a father teaching his son a very rare skill. Thanks you for your videos.
What a wonderfull work of father and son. Blessed with a skillfull and passionate father and a son ready to join in his footsteps. Thank you.
Great show I always like the end monologue and it's good to see trouble getting involved
Your posts always move me. This one in particular. Thank you.
Great tuition Joe to pass on your amazing talents to your son. A beautiful watch!
Can you hear the applause here from Cape Town South Africa? You certainly deserve it.
So happy to hear troubles voice again! I hope he's in good health and happy! Best wishes to you and your family!??
Great to see that another younf aspiring watcmer is in the making. If i owned a watch of that calibre i would gladly allow the young man to restore my watch.

I hope you keep this watch as a keepsake for Mr. Trouble and memory of your working together.
Hi Joe
Great to see Trouble working with you. Keep up the great work.
Rearing Trouble and his brother 😅😅😅. 😉😇
Trouble may find his own interests and passions. And take his own path as he gets older.
But what you have taught him in watchmaking..... And most importantly in character..... Will make him a true asset and kind-hearted influence to EVERYONE in his life.
Peace, love and you keeping the right path teaching your son! G'd bless you!
That is also awesome father-son bonding time. He will remember that down his line and draw from this moment positive emotions. Well done.
Wow. Massive respect to both of you. Joe, you have a wonderful son and willing apprentice. You are a great teacher and I’m amazed that Trouble knew so much.
Absolutely brilliant to see you both loving life together.
Thank you for sharing it with us, what a great Father & son moment to treasure for ever sir 🤝
I love it. Obviously you were a very good teacher to your son.
I really enjoyed this video. Loved watching Trouble disassemble the Longines. Great work! It took me back to my childhood when my Dad taught me how to tap kegs, clean beer lines and pull a beer in the pub we owned when I was young. Lasting memories
What a lucky watch-to be touched by angelic hands guided by a master.
Your videos make me smile, and always bring a tear to the eye.
So cool too see your son learning to continue the work😀
This video is so cute, I’ve heard your kid in the previous videos but I didn’t realize he was so into your work. I love this so much. Maybe he’ll start his own channel some day
Love to see Trouble getting in on the act, even with the heavy breathing. 😅
Peace, love, and easy breathing!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Congratulations to you and to Trouble, and thanks for the happiness you bring us with your work.
Beautiful watch and beautiful words. Thanks for posting.👏
Best one, yet!!! Amazing young man and awesome father
Congratulations Trouble and Joe. Most enjoyable to see both of you working on this beautiful piece. Blessings.
Bravo! Well done and so glad you could have those experiences with your sons.
Wonderful video. Brought back fond memories of my dad showing me how to fix things at his workbench. Great work !!!
When I first saw that Longines, I thought it was a lost cause. You restored it to a beautiful piece anyone - including I - would be proud to wear.
Alien Fingers' fine-motor skills are coming right along! That's tough work for a 10-year-old, but he did it well (in my non-watchmaking opinion)! He did it better than I could have done it!
I envy their relationship with you. For those of us who had "difficult" parents, seeing you work with your sons is a touching joy.
Well done on all sides, Nekkid! Well done.
Stunning work, by both of you. So good to have you back. Epic watch. Thanks for sharing.
Very well done trouble, won't be long before your showing your dad how to do it. 😊
One word describes this video "beautiful" Thank you for letting us all be part of it.
Amazing. Your son puts my tinkering to shame, but he does have a master teacher! Passing on skills we have to our children is great and I have tried to do that (not with watch tinkering though) but your patience is a lesson to us all.
Wow Trouble!!! Now I'm a fan of you too.
