Magnificent timepiece; sporting a stunning green dial and elegant design to compliment the McGonigle Minute Repeater. As a fellow Irishman I congratulate Stephen's amazing accomplishments.
Another fascinating insight to work of great craftsman (Stephen McGonigle), and of course the expert knowledge of The Naked Watchmaker (Peter Speake-Martin). Thanks for bringing us another excellent video Marc.
Absolutely beautifully presented and finished, this level of watchmaking is way above even the work from the holy trinity, Stephen is obviously one of a small group of watchmakers that are truly at the top of their game, you may get as good but you won't get better, congratulations on an excellent piece of horological beauty.
WOW! The time and patience it takes to just assemble a watch let alone the machining and polishing each piece is remarkable. Thanks for the view of this master piece.
Jesus! Stunning piece and beautiful craftsmanship. The gong sound is so pleasant and inviting. Thank you for sharing this with us and much respect to the designer and builder. Just fantastic
Incredible! I’m lost for words! I had not heard of this company before, what a masterpiece! Thank you Stephen, Marc and of course the wonderful Peter, you really are at the top of the game Marc, congratulations.
Absolutely, a minute repeater is my grail watch. As a musician its something I would love beyond most peoples comprehension... however as a musician its a very unlikely reality financially speaking :/ . But who knows if my company takes off I may fly my private jet to Ireland and get one of these made for me :D What's the pricetag on this particular peace? Any idea?
It occurs to me that the hammers always strike the gongs in the exact same location, hence they must create some kind of dent over time, or the hammers are softer metal and relatively easily replaced.
Thank you for showing us mere mortals another unique brand. Enjoyed this one immensely. BTW i think this is the best looking balance cock in the industry, making me wonder why no one thought about it before.
That's why the series is called "Don't Do This at Home". Given their level of professionalism and the factory fresh state of the movement and case, there is little that can go wrong.
What an amazing, unique, hideous watch. It looks like, it was made for Jim Carrey, playing the riddler in a Batman movie. Don’t watch that movie at home or anywhere else.
Thank you for all these interesting videos and thank you "The Naked Watchmaker" for taking time and explaining the complexity of these timepieces.
And thank so much for this much appreciated comment 🙏🙏

I am in total awe of what I have just witnessed.
That's nice, makes us happy!!!
Astonishing craft.
Truely honouring Ireland's tradition.
The color dial is amazing. Design with own soul. Greatness.

You are most welcome, thanks a lot!

Many thanks for this very nice comment, highly appreciated!!
Fabulous watch from a lesser known brand
WOW! The time and patience it takes to just assemble a watch let alone the machining and polishing each piece is remarkable. Thanks for the view of this master piece.
A lot of patience and attention for sure!!!
Wow, one of the best, if not the best video in this series. Thank you so much.

Superb video. Thank you Marc, Peter and Stephen!
Very welcome, always a pleasure to do!
That green dial is beautiful.......reallllyyy beautiful
Absolutely Fantastic!
What a masterpiece! Simply beautiful!
I love these "dont do this at home". Pure awesome!
As a proud Irishman, great to see Stephen's work highlighted. A McGonigle piece would definitely be a grail if money was not a hindrance.
I unfortunately understand... but still very interesting to get behind the scene of this incredible movement. All the very best to you

@@SuperDragone666
North of $100,000 I reckon.
Best of luck with your music.
@@fullymechanical9055 Yeah I would imagine something in that range. And thank you! :D
@@fullymechanical9055 a minute repeater for 100 000 ? I think more in the region of 250 000 to 700 000
My god that is a gorgeous watch!
Thank you Stephen for the very interesting and helpful account to the Minute Repeater.i have more interest than most in your wonderful watch.
Amazing work! Superbly designed and executed video! Marc, you are a genius! Thanks for the marvelous content.
Waou, that’s a very comment, thanks a lot!
Can we talk real quick about what a good idea it is to hold screwdrivers with tweezers? Im doing that now
Now that's how you do a Green Dial. Its Stunning.
Remember the irish ☘️ part ;)
TheWATCHES.tv I never heard of any Irish ☘️ brands till this video
Amazing!
"Beautiful handmade 1 of 6 minute repeater time pieces...." Get the hammer and chisel! Mad and brilliant!
It occurs to me that the hammers always strike the gongs in the exact same location, hence they must create some kind of dent over time, or the hammers are softer metal and relatively easily replaced.
Beautiful watch, extremely interesting, I wonder how much one of those pieces goes by
Well let’s say a little bit ;)
@@watchestv-com :)
This is where i get nervous , The dismantling
As an Irish would say: F++++ng amazing!
What a marvel of manual mechanic.
I did, I actually said " fucking amazing " all the best from Ireland,Seán
Thank you for showing us mere mortals another unique brand. Enjoyed this one immensely. BTW i think this is the best looking balance cock in the industry, making me wonder why no one thought about it before.
And many thanks to you for watching us!!
Awesome video.... & off cos nice watch
Hey Peter, it Daniel Katz from Toronto ............this just plain fun, thx
Deployment is when you're sent off to war. Deployant is the type of buckle. Otherwise, this video is amazing...
Two thumbs up.
Great, happy you liked it, thanks a lot!
TH-cam user Andrey, a collector of fine and rare watches, has in his collection a minute repeater from a workshop in Dublin circa 1810.
Very interesting, must be very rare!
Junghans wecker ? what's the story behind the posters?
You’ll soon know, promise!
Super
Anyone know what one of these watches costs? Or the price of any of McGonigle watches?
Likely at least $200k USD.
Really interesting video video Marc, impeccable work from the watchmaker..., can I ask the price on one of those pieces...?
wow, fk that was cool. brilliant video
👍👍🙏
That means surprise lever
Servicing this beauty might be the same cost a Rolex datejust
As a Rolex Datejust or Perpetuelle
It is like being in the presence of Gods....
Nice comment, thanks so much!!
I suddenly feel completely unworthy! As a comment suggests this is indeed the product of "The God's".
Nicely said!
I am not sure about this...unless there is a really good reason (repair) you shouldn't touch this very special watch.
I agree, but it is good for documenting/educating and I also really appreciate the opportunity to see such hidden wonder.
That's why the series is called "Don't Do This at Home".
Given their level of professionalism and the factory fresh state of the movement and case, there is little that can go wrong.
it's not a problem if you have a good hammer
I'm pretty sure that's why mr Speake-Marin doesn't do more than we see. The rest is for the creator.
Haha, that’s right!!
So beautifull, you only can say we are the image of god
This watch is so ugly its beautiful.
What an amazing, unique, hideous watch. It looks like, it was made for Jim Carrey, playing the riddler in a Batman movie. Don’t watch that movie at home or anywhere else.
