      The internal number is a global helpline to report child Labour! Only kidding..! Superb to see just how easy watch tinkering is. Child’s play..

      It's also great to see the son listening and respecting his father! I wish my grandkids were so well behaved.

    This video embodies the whole reason why I have followed you all these years. I've commented many times on how I've loved the best of your videos when I hear your gentle voice guiding your children. And now here they are, working with you. Stay safe and I look forward to more of your father and son(s) videos. 🙂

    Bravo to you Joe. You've taught Trouble a heckuva lot more than how to restore a watch. And it really shows.

    This is truly heart-warming... great parenting.

  • @gmichaelhall
    @gmichaelhall Před 17 dny +18

    Arguably, one of the most sublime yet profound moments in a Fathers life is saying to his son, “Go on then”.
    It’s an unspoken transpose of “ I’m right here and got your back “
    There is no video on the YT that contains such poetic content encased in a real world demonstration of watch restoration.
    1 of 1 scores 10 out of 10 and a star is born ⭐️
    Be well Joe and thanks

    I am a retired Dentist from many years ago. We had to cast and polish our inlays and crowns ourselves. Watching you polish these watches brings back good
    memories and gives me a warm feeling.
    I also love to hear you speaking with your son. He seems a sweet and beautiful young man.

    Joe, what I love the most about this video is your patience and loving direction you give to Trouble. He is lucky to have a dad like you. Train up a child in the way that he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Blessings to you both.

    This moved me immensely, I’ve been a fan of yours for well before Covid time, when Trouble is explaining what he’s doing so eloquently, it’s just gorgeous mate. This vid is beautiful. You’re a true master of your craft and now we fans of all things horological, are blessed again from you. Cheers mate. Peace ☮️ love ❤️ respect ✊.

    Man, I have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos (and philosophising) but this one was absolutely fantastic !

  • @jacobbwalters8133
    @jacobbwalters8133 Před 16 dny +1

    What a wonderful and sentimental episode. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with your children. As an educator, I think that it’s incredibly important that we not let our skills die with us. We spend a lot of time and energy mastering our crafts. To leave the world without passing that knowledge on would be a great injustice to future generations.

It’s so nice to see you pass our dying art along to your son! He is very smart and will make a fine watchmaker!

So great to see talent passed on to the future generations. Kudos...and thank you..!! - Do like the choice of strap..accentuates the watch

  • @johnparnell8571
    @johnparnell8571 Před 16 dny +2

    Joe, if your dear son learns only half of your skills he will be a fine watchmaker and restorer. With luck, and patience, if you can pass on all of your skills he will be a truly great one. Yours has to be one of the most satisfying of crafts to learn and practice. Let us hope it becomes your son's passion also.
