Master Watchmaker John McGonigle of Oileán Watches, in the first of two presentations for Engineers Ireland, gives a brief history of the development of watches and how they were initially made, their progression to precision instruments, the industrialization of watchmaking, how modern techniques and materials have been adapted and how current hand-crafted watches fit into all of this.

You can register for the second of John McGonigles’ presentations about complicated watches at 18:30 GMT on the 23rd of March, 2023 at www.engineersireland.ie/Events/event/8773
