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. 🙂
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 ❤
More than the father son aspect, i found this video gut wrenching. I couldn't stop thinking about the lives lost, the memories that cannot be made, the lessons parents can no longer teach their children. Palestine will be free, my friends. For all that is right in this world, for all the darkness, there will be light.
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.
You Sir, are a treasure to watch. No pun intended. You're teaching skills are commendable as are your parenting ones. The world needs more men like you. Cheers.
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.
I like when you told your son (about putting a bit of oil on the wheels) hey you’re not oiling the car 😂😂😂you are a beautiful father Joe. Love your content and humor 🇺🇸
Thanks again. Glad to see how your children are preparing to learn from your skills. Thank you for trying to name the unnameable madness that is happening to children for 8 months now.
You’re a wonderful person, husband, father and Horologist. I’m so impressed and inspired by teaching your son and your audience. Your Grace, patience and skill are outstanding. The world should take notice. I have. Peace unto you and yours Howard
A big high five to Trouble and Germ, you have a great dad. Thank you so very much for reminding me of my time working with my dad as a decorator. He was the boss and pushed me but so much fun. Thank you
OMG, this is just too cute! "I'm going to remove the canon pinion" - that's not a future watchmaker...that's a future RUclipsr you have on your hands there! Seriously, I haven't smiled as much as when watching this for ages!
Trouble may find his own interests and passions. And take his own path as he gets older. But what you have taught him in watchmaking..... And most importantly in character..... Will make him a true asset and kind-hearted influence to EVERYONE in his life.
What a lovely video - well done to Trouble in particular and well done to dad for being so patient ! This is a little donation all the way from Australia for Trouble in recognition of his excellent watch servicing skills!
The Nekkid Watchmaker is quite the philosopher. He always makes me feel better about life and reminds me that it's only temporary (ending video remarks). Four years have gone by fast.
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 ✊.
As I sit here with tears rolling down my face and remembering my father and all he showed me,as God took him way to young .I remember his words ..”treat how you would want to be treated”
Mine too. My Pops had "golden hands" and could fix anything. He did his best to pass it all onto me. I treasured our relationship, he too passed way too soon.
I love how you just drop deep philosophical points into the end of your videos. You really do have a way with words and the world would be a much better place if more people shared your views.
Well done trouble! It's brilliant to see your skills for such a young man. I was still eating mud at that age. And well done to you too, Joe. Not only are you a master watch maker, you are a wonderful dad. It was really good to see you both interacting on this video. Thank you.
I taught my son how to use a sewing machine when he was a teenager and now he's pushing 40 and still uses the old clunker I gave him to sew and repair things. Even small things you teach your children can lead to lifelong use of those skills and you can be happy in your dotage (I'm 71) that your child benefited from your tutelage. Good for you doing this!!
Oh fabulous. Just what the doctor ordered, another VT from my favourite watch tinkerer. Looking forward to watching this in about 30 minutes time, thank you Joe. ❤❤❤❤
As usual, love the video. Great to see ‘Trouble’ taking after his father. Never thought that seeing a picture of a watermelon would make me smile & feel illimitably sad at the same time… More power to you
Right now he's a chip off the ole block. Will grow up with expertise that cannot be found in textbooks and good memories with his Dad. I love these videos
Man, I have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos (and philosophising) but this one was absolutely fantastic ! If your kids enjoyed helping you a fraction as much as I enjoyed watching then they will be hooked on horology for life. Best wishes to you and your family.
Well done Trouble! What a great memory you have to remember all the names of the parts. And 'well done' Dad for your calm and gentle (on camera at least!) voice.
Beautiful restoration. Your son (Trouble) knows a hell of lot more than me. Given that his father is an expert in this trade, he is also an excellent teacher.
Seeing Mr. Trouble working on this beautiful watch gives me hope for the future of this world. Clearly, he has been closely observing you as you work on watches and he's learned a lot. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for bringing us along.
Respect to you my friend, what a great thing to do and Trouble certainly has absorbed your skill and knowledge. You'll soon be the one watching on. Another beautiful restoration as usual.
My favorite watchmaker working on my favorite brand and involving the next generation. WOW! Could have made a dog's dinner of it. But instead it was awesome!
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.
Love to see it, passing on knowledge and teaching the future brothers watchmaking prodigies that is trouble and germ. Making memories that will last a lifetime
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you for being a father gently and firmly while showing how to laugh at yourself by getting and giving a bit of stick. Bravo!
Awesome that he's following in his dad's footsteps. Nothing should make a father more proud. Congratulations to you and great job in instructing them. Peace and blessings to you.
I think...that it is so Fantastic, that your son, of only 10 yrs of age is so interested in and involved in, the watch restorations and repairs that his farther has been doing for many years..- That he is on the game and in tune. So great to see talent passed on to the future generations. Kudos...and thank you..!! - Do like the choice of strap..accentuates the watch
Magnificent job! Much kudos to your son - not only knew all the names of the multitudinous parts but where they fit and in which order - absolutely amazing! Good for you for teaching him so well. And the little banana wielding guy too who did not lose a single part? Wonderful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent stuff, loved it when you said to Trouble - are you filling up a car - and just throw it in 😆 How lovely passing on your knowledge to your son.
Warmed the cockles of my heart to see you passing on your skills to your clever boys. Have also learned the importance of holding a banana when undertaking fiddly tasks.
We watch your videos in our watch shop in Valdese, NC. Our customers often become captivated with your videos and stay a while longer and enjoy our free popcorn. 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! We’re always commenting on what a great father you are to patiently and lovingly impart your knowledge and have a little fun along the way. Your kids will have the best memories of their childhood!
Absolutely brilliant to see you both loving life together. Thank you for sharing it with us, what a great Father & son moment to treasure for ever sir 🤝
Well done to Joe Jr! So he was listening all those other times....he's well able to name most of the bits! And how precious all our kids are when we think of little Hind Rajab, it's too painful even to imagine "please come and get me". Rest In Peace to all the children, and thanks for your gentle tribute.
Well I whole heartedly approve of this Joe. I hope if he wants, Trouble becomes a qualified watchmaker. Trades in this era are taking a back seat to office workers who really and truly believe they're better than blue collar workers, trades people and the arts who all enrich society. We need to remind these types that they don't actually produce anything - no street art, no fine thread machine screws, no music, no spool valves, no aboriginal interpretive dance, no hydromechanical fuel control units, no symphony orchestras - nuffing. The best way is to revitalize the importance of trades. You go Trouble. The world needs you. Your generation will save us from the endless hordes of supercilious office workers with their beige outlook on life lol.
I really enjoyed this video. Loved watching Trouble disassemble the Longines. Great work! It took me back to my childhood when my Dad taught me how to tap kegs, clean beer lines and pull a beer in the pub we owned when I was young. Lasting memories
It’s great to see a father passing on his knowledge to his son.
I agree.
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..
Keep it up, trouble.
It's also great to see the son listening and respecting his father! I wish my grandkids were so well behaved.
Great video, wonderful teaching
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. 🙂
The child's first teacher is the parent! Well done!🎉
Blessings to you & your family!
Take care and be well!
Sandy from the States.
Teaching the next generation. I hope my sons will be watching your sons do this 25 years from now.
Arguably, one of the most sublime yet profound moments in a Fathers life is saying to his son, “Go on then”.

1 of 1 scores 10 out of 10 and a star is born ⭐️
Be well Joe and thanks
❤
Bravo to you Joe. You've taught Trouble a heckuva lot more than how to restore a watch. And it really shows.
More than the father son aspect, i found this video gut wrenching. I couldn't stop thinking about the lives lost, the memories that cannot be made, the lessons parents can no longer teach their children. Palestine will be free, my friends. For all that is right in this world, for all the darkness, there will be light.
Apples don't fall far from the tree do they? Fixing a watch with his old dad will be a treasured memory.
A father teaching a son. A son honouring his father. A greatful audience remembering their own father's. Tears.
Lovely to see the young lad getting along with the craft . Happy t see him knowing the parts . Another lovely video from you. thanks.
Strong families build stronger communities and that's something needed everywhere. Bravo Trouble & Co.
Nothing better or more satisfying than being able to pass on a skilled trade to your children.
Wow what a beautiful video. The knowledge you are passing on to your son is remarkable. You are so patient with him. ❤
Joe!, you Bloody bellend! You just made me want to have Kids! You're just the father i wish i could have. Blessings to the Nekkid Fam!
This is truly heart-warming... great parenting.
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.

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.
Just had a scary thought of you letting a 10 year old loose on someone’s teeth :)
I like when you told your son (about putting a bit of oil on the wheels) hey you’re not oiling the car 😂😂😂you are a beautiful father Joe. Love your content and humor 🇺🇸
Thanks again.

A big high five to Trouble and Germ, you have a great dad. Thank you so very much for reminding me of my time working with my dad as a decorator. He was the boss and pushed me but so much fun. Thank you
Trouble has some very good fine motor skills for a 10 year old ⌚🏅
Amazing to see a young person who knows the names of all those parts and how they work together to make a watch.
OMG, this is just too cute! "I'm going to remove the canon pinion" - that's not a future watchmaker...that's a future RUclipsr you have on your hands there! Seriously, I haven't smiled as much as when watching this for ages!

I love the banter between father and son....it's the way it should be .
As I sit here with tears rolling down my face and remembering my father and all he showed me,as God took him way to young .I remember his words ..”treat how you would want to be treated”
Mine too. My Pops had "golden hands" and could fix anything. He did his best to pass it all onto me. I treasured our relationship, he too passed way too soon.
Nekkid watchmaker jr. The future is secured! 🙏
I feel happiness in the thought that when the master retires (in a future far, far away), the apprentice(s) will move on with this channel.
This is the very definition of a guild: fathers teaching sons.
Your father could not have done better himself! Great job on a beautiful little watch🥰
Well done Trouble! 💪🏼 Joe, thank you for your inspirational work and words. Blessings to you and yours.
Well done to trouble, please tell him that as a complete novice he could teach me a thing or two. Beautiful and heartwarming as always.
I love how you just drop deep philosophical points into the end of your videos. You really do have a way with words and the world would be a much better place if more people shared your views.
Well done trouble! It's brilliant to see your skills for such a young man. I was still eating mud at that age. And well done to you too, Joe. Not only are you a master watch maker, you are a wonderful dad. It was really good to see you both interacting on this video. Thank you.
I taught my son how to use a sewing machine when he was a teenager and now he's pushing 40 and still uses the old clunker I gave him to sew and repair things. Even small things you teach your children can lead to lifelong use of those skills and you can be happy in your dotage (I'm 71) that your child benefited from your tutelage. Good for you doing this!!
Oh fabulous. Just what the doctor ordered, another VT from my favourite watch tinkerer. Looking forward to watching this in about 30 minutes time, thank you Joe. ❤❤❤❤
Trouble must surely hold the world record (Guinness?) for youngest RUclips trainee Horologist🎉 good to see him learning.
As usual, love the video. Great to see ‘Trouble’ taking after his father. Never thought that seeing a picture of a watermelon would make me smile & feel illimitably sad at the same time… More power to you
One word describes this video "beautiful" Thank you for letting us all be part of it.
Right now he's a chip off the ole block. Will grow up with expertise that cannot be found in textbooks and good memories with his Dad. I love these videos
I own a 23Z longines and I am so happy to see it another one in such capable young hands! This was a wonderful video, thank you for sharing this!
Man, I have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos (and philosophising) but this one was absolutely fantastic !
If your kids enjoyed helping you a fraction as much as I enjoyed watching then they will be hooked on horology for life.
Best wishes to you and your family.
What a lovely video of a father teaching his son a very rare skill. Thanks you for your videos.
The boy is growing up. This is quite heartwarming.
10 years old and he has picked all this up from his Dad, smashing video and proud to be a Nekkid revolutionary!
Well done Trouble! What a great memory you have to remember all the names of the parts. And 'well done' Dad for your calm and gentle (on camera at least!) voice.
Trouble done a great job, and now the watch indeed looks the Dogs Bollocks! You both should be proud.
Beautiful restoration. Your son (Trouble) knows a hell of lot more than me. Given that his father is an expert in this trade, he is also an excellent teacher.
Seeing Mr. Trouble working on this beautiful watch gives me hope for the future of this world.

It was so good to see that your son had learnt so much from watching you.
It was a real pleasure to see Dad and Son working so well together.
Love to see it, passing on knowledge and teaching the future brothers watchmaking prodigies that is trouble and germ. Making memories that will last a lifetime
It’s not only teaching a son, it’s being so humane!
“Trouble” is a privileged to have such a father.
I’m a electrician, and my father taught me the trade. This is great that he takes an interest and wants to learn. Well done.
What a Beautiful watch. So nice to see you teaching your son your expert skills. Thanks for your always inspiring words.
Love to see Trouble getting in on the act, even with the heavy breathing. 😅
Peace, love, and easy breathing!
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you for being a father gently and firmly while showing how to laugh at yourself by getting and giving a bit of stick. Bravo!
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...TELL TROBLE HELLO AND THE HOLD FAMILY...THX YOU...
Awesome that he's following in his dad's footsteps. Nothing should make a father more proud. Congratulations to you and great job in instructing them. Peace and blessings to you.
Your best restoration for obvious reasons. You and your family are the best!
I think...that it is so Fantastic, that your son, of only 10 yrs of age is so interested in and involved in, the watch restorations and repairs that his farther has been doing for many years..- That he is on the game and in tune. So great to see talent passed on to the future generations. Kudos...and thank you..!! - Do like the choice of strap..accentuates the watch
Very well done sir. If everyone invested the time you do in the next generation, the world would transform into a better place for all.
If your lad keeps at it, he will be a master watchmaker before he finishes high school.
So happy to hear troubles voice again! I hope he's in good health and happy! Best wishes to you and your family!??
Magnificent job! Much kudos to your son - not only knew all the names of the multitudinous parts but where they fit and in which order - absolutely amazing! Good for you for teaching him so well. And the little banana wielding guy too who did not lose a single part? Wonderful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your posts always move me. This one in particular. Thank you.
Bringing back fond memories of weekend projects with my pops!
...the son of a master is going to become a master himself...well done Nekkid junior 👍
Excellent stuff, loved it when you said to Trouble - are you filling up a car - and just throw it in 😆 How lovely passing on your knowledge to your son.
I love it. Obviously you were a very good teacher to your son.
Jo. We'll done! I really love to see a father pass down knowledge.
Always wise words from you.
Father and son team doing a wonderful job. Absolutely marvelous. Well done, Junior.
Warmed the cockles of my heart to see you passing on your skills to your clever boys. Have also learned the importance of holding a banana when undertaking fiddly tasks.
Great job TROUBLE, like father like son...
Trouble barely fits into the finger cots, but he’s already doing a great job. It’s fun to watch Joe pass on his passion to his son.
We watch your videos in our watch shop in Valdese, NC. Our customers often become captivated with your videos and stay a while longer and enjoy our free popcorn. 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! We’re always commenting on what a great father you are to patiently and lovingly impart your knowledge and have a little fun along the way. Your kids will have the best memories of their childhood!
This is why I watch this channel over other watch/clock repair channels!
Wow! Well done Trouble! How it should be,learning at your father’s knee. Lovely film and what a result.
Absolutely brilliant to see you both loving life together.
Thank you for sharing it with us, what a great Father & son moment to treasure for ever sir 🤝
As I’ve said before. It’s amazing to me how involve your children in your work. You are an amazing dad.
Well done to Joe Jr! So he was listening all those other times....he's well able to name most of the bits! And how precious all our kids are when we think of little Hind Rajab, it's too painful even to imagine "please come and get me". Rest In Peace to all the children, and thanks for your gentle tribute.
Peace, love and you keeping the right path teaching your son! G'd bless you!
I hope you keep this watch as a keepsake for Mr. Trouble and memory of your working together.
Great show I always like the end monologue and it's good to see trouble getting involved
I’ve followed you for years. Helped me get through the pandemic. Beautiful video. Thank you.
I bet your smile is from ear to ear. A proud dad
Best one, yet!!! Amazing young man and awesome father
Well I whole heartedly approve of this Joe. I hope if he wants, Trouble becomes a qualified watchmaker.
Trades in this era are taking a back seat to office workers who really and truly believe they're better than blue collar workers, trades people and the arts who all enrich society.

You go Trouble. The world needs you. Your generation will save us from the endless hordes of supercilious office workers with their beige outlook on life lol.
God bless the Father who values the time spent with his sons.
What a lucky watch-to be touched by angelic hands guided by a master.
Can you hear the applause here from Cape Town South Africa? You certainly deserve it.
I really enjoyed this video. Loved watching Trouble disassemble the Longines. Great work! It took me back to my childhood when my Dad taught me how to tap kegs, clean beer lines and pull a beer in the pub we owned when I was young. Lasting memories
