Watchmaker and designer, Stephen McDonnell, presents an absorbing hour long seminar on how he obsesses over 600 parts that make up one of his watches!
If you have the slightest interest in watches and how they are designed (and the obsession of every detail by its designer), then this Dubai Watch Week presentation, “The Trials And Tribulations Of Watch Innovation With Stephen McDonnell” in an absolute must watch (pun fully intended).
Running a tad under an hour, this video provides a window into the process and the will of the soaring highs and devastating lows of creating new innovations in watchmaking (with 600 pieces!).
Stephen McDonnell also looks at the fundamental strangeness of what he does, driven by forces beyond his control, to pour his heart and soul into the creation of his watches, and as a result the struggle with stress, and with maintaining a reasonable work/life balance.
This is by far the most absorbing watch related seminar you’ll watch today!
