The time only "Tuscar" watch attach first importance to time accuracy. And the new limited edition still keep the way the McGonigle Watches always do to its craftwork. With the "Tuscar" featuring their new time-only in-house calibre movement, the McGonigle brothers, John and Stephen, have retained the qualities that were so successful in their tourbillon, including its distinctive design elements and transcendental levels of fine finishing, and distilled them to their pure essence. "We wanted a time-only watch with a high focus on excellent timekeeping; a substantial power reserve; solid reliability; and with superb finishing and decoration." John McGonigle."The design had to have a clean coherent style and we wanted the principle mechanical elements visible on the dial side. To achieve all of that we had to develop our own movement from the ground up." The Tuscar launches with a subscription-only limited edition series of 10 pieces called, "One of Ten", featuring a white gold case and a transparent sapphire dial revealing all of the subtleties of the stunningly finished movement beneath. Each watch will be marked "One of Ten" rather than individually numbered. This first series will be distinctive from models to follow by virtue of materials used in the movement, the design and shape of certain bridges, the type of finish of individual parts and the engraving. "To ensure the success of our new calibre, we teamed up with the legendary Alberto Papi, one of Switzerland's finest designer constructors, to help refine our movement design and specifications." says Stephen McGonigle. "Tuscar" is the name of a group of rocks with a lighthouse that is often the first part of Ireland seen by those approaching by sea from the west. The solidity the name evokes is a powerful analogy for the McGonigles' new model. "McGonigle Watches" has been working on the high-end watches with some other famous brands in Switzaerland. The first model from the brand is a tourbillon, and it is widely known for its high standard of craftwork and unique design. |
