What an imaginative selection!
Obviously, I'd love to see them all in person, from the pictures you've shared, the cushion-shaped Fears, and the splendidly green Alison Moriarty stand out to me the most aesthetically-speaking

Moriarty Watches
Thank you guys it was great chatting to everyone and your support is much appreciated. Looking forward to next year with some surprises. π
My Pleasure Sir π, Welcome to WPS, what an honor, look forward to your posts ππ
We snuck in an Irish one thereβ¦for old times sake ! LOL (Moriarty Watches)
On a more serious note, the watch from Alison Moriarty is all about the dial. She is doing the enamel work herself, and then I believe other parts are sourced externally with the complete watches then being assembled by her in her home workshop in County Clare Ireland.
She is of the same generation as Stephen McGonigle and if not in the same class I believe they were at least both attending (the now closed) Irish Swiss Institute of Horology at the same time. She then went onto WOSTEP in Neuchatel but I believe returned home following that.
After years away from her trained skillset as a watchmaker, and after some life altering events, she got back into this side of things after rekindling an interest / love in enameling.
The base dials are very nicely done, I really like some of the output that Iβve seen her post pictures of. The printing style has moved more towards what my eye likes more recently and I also believe they are sourcing a new case and some other parts.
Sheβs active online, easily found.
This is what I love about these regional watch shows, you discover amazing talents like Alison Moriarty, I have fallen in love with her work and her story is so moving and inspirational, once I get the chance I will post more about her work and her.......
Journey in a separate thread, hope you'll help me with your insights, she deserves more recognition imho
Doing great stuff, and it seems getting some nice traction.
Feel free if time permits to share some more colour here. Iβm sure folks would appreciate it.
I wish, that Iβd been there!
That Fears white dial would have been my choice, lots of cool watches posted.
Looking like a cool event ππ»ππ»
With a tad more authentic enthusiasm than some of the larger ones πππ»
Thank you for posting this. Although I couldnβt be there I did order one piece from the show.
Glad to be of service ππ, if you could please share which piece caught your fancy?
Congratulations! Excellent Choice ππ, Please do Post your Pics when you receive it ππ

Thank you. I wrote Fears in advance of the show and immediately after and alas I secured one of the 25 pieces. It was love at first sight even though I had hesitations...
The silver case despite its roots in pocket watches, the movement albeit an upgraded LJP G121M, and all the outsourced components of the watch, but the overall execution is my cup of tea and the price was fair IMO.
Yes, I will share some live photos and first impressions when it arrives. They were having a minor issue with the case back, but it shouldn't be too long of a wait.
Kindest regards,

I had no idea there are so many active British watchmakers and some of the watches shown are just amazing.
