Oileán in the press
Behind the Lens by Gary Getz for Quill and Pad.
“If the front of the Oileán brings quiet pleasure, the reverse brings more exuberant sensations of joy. McGonigle has transformed the standard Valjoux movement into an open garden of levers, springs, and open bridges.”
Oileán H-B1 by Johnny McElherron for The Watch Press
“A truly striking piece of ethereal beauty and exquisite hand finishing, which boasts a horological full house of classical complications, John McGonigle’s Oiléan is a watch without comparison.”
Oileán H-B1 by Ian Skellern for Quill and Pad.
“John McGonigle is one of the best watch restorers I know and his hand finishing is second to none, so for Oileán he decided that he would make watches that enabled the movements to take center stage.”
