With the same warmth, and despite their pressing work commitments, accepting the invitation are also several world-renowned watchmakers. This time, along with " Ilcommesso Flyrobyfly and " we expressed our curiosity McGonigle . The brand takes its name from two Irish brothers who have recently set - independently - in view of the world watch. Their creations are fantastic manufacturing, I only remember the last: the Tuscar .
Way to curiosity:
Question 1 of "Ilcommesso" Why did you decide to leave your career as a "simple" and watchmakers found a label with your name? What is the spring that triggers the desire to create a clock which is the only creator?
John McGonigle : We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to create wonderful watches for other brands. (John Mancini: Audemars Piguet , Christophe Claret - Stephen Christophe Claret , Frank Muller , Breguet )
However, these timepieces were built according to drawings and specifications of our customers. Were not necessarily the same type of watches that we wanted to achieve.
When the opportunity arose, we started manufacturing our own brand for those who have always had in mind.
Stephen McGonigle : I think that many people aspire to create their own company. Before we both had to put together our business, but when the opportunity came, to be seized.
Question 2 of "Miche .." (ironically) Two Irishmen in the midst of a monopoly in Switzerland, are you crazy? But we'll definitely think about it, before you start your brand. I feel a hurdle or a good starting point for a new vision?
John : We have considered the reason to start a brand and how the Irish would be accepted. In the few years prior to starting McGonigle Watches we noticed that in purchasing the collectors of watches were changing their habits.
Previously, high-end watch collectors went to the prestigious brands founded by hundreds of years or more.
With the help of magazines and the Internet, collectors have become more technically aware and have begun to focus their attention on new trademark, and independent watchmakers . In short, the clocks were becoming more important for the brand.
Introduce a non-Swiss watch brand, made ??to the highest standards, it was a natural progression. We were sure that collectors would be quite interested in our work so much to see beyond any perceived disadvantage of a non-Swiss watchmaking.
It seems to have worked.
Stephen : We have certainly seen this problem, but I personally have seen as a possible advantage.
I think the most genuine watch collectors schierino not on the side of big brands and, as long as they can reach, we can make a great figure. In fact, there are other watchmakers 'non-Swiss' who are working very well.
The influences that we have taken the Irish culture have made an impression with some pretty good buyers, and this is certainly not something which could have first a certainty.
Question 3 of "Flyrobyfly": What is your target market and what is your source of inspiration, a sense of tradition and history, if any?
John : Our watches are designed in accordance with the principle of ' less is more '. Often, it is more difficult to produce a project that is both simple and stunning removing all the unnecessary details.
We hope to take hold of collectors who understand this principle, as is our high quality without compromising on function and finish.
The late Derek Pratt (grazie@segnatempo.it profile) was a watchmaker who understand and practice these qualities in the magnificent clocks realized. He has had an enormous influence on us.
Philippe Dufour was like a prophet, for so many independent watchmakers. Its watches are a constant reminder of what is the quality most important and never to forget.
Grande Sonnerie His is one of the greatest works of the greatest ever made ??by a single watchmaker.
Stephen : Of course, the collectors were beginning for us and this is still a very important market. Geographically speaking, our market is worldwide. The series of Tuscar One of Ten went to collectors in Australia, the United States, Europe and Asia.
There are few watchmakers have always amazed me and I keep an eye on the progress they make. As for inspiration, I agree with John, Derek Pratt was one of the best. Before the diploma watchmaker Philippe Dufour and I met as well as the work she was doing was humble, he was himself. At the time I wondered if I could never reach his level of quality ... ... ... ... ... ... .... I'm still trying to do.
