It's always good to see incredible objects produced by those outside the usual suspects. The first three pictures here show the prototype to the "One of Ten" version of the Tuscar, which has well and truly sold out. McGonigle then produced a rose gold edition of 20 known as the Tuscar Bánú. I am very jealous of anyone who gets to handle this piece. It really seems to glow from within. You know a watch is well made when the live pics are even sexier than the PR images. Do check out their Facebook page (link below) for more great images of this watch.
Monochrome has an article on John and Stephen McGonigle and their creations here.

This site is something of a gallery: a pictorial tribute to the high quality creations that have advanced the art, science and history of horology; as well as the personalities who created them, and the designers and image makers who portray them so desirably. For the most part, I prefer to let these pieces speak for themselves.
