What a beautiful watch, Darren. Really special. I like the changes you made to the dial, it really just takes it to the next level to my eyes.

While you are at it, what about some picutres of the movement? Knowing you a bit, I would be surprised if there is not something nice to see, movement side. GREAT dial, and very plesant case. Best, Nicolas
Happy to oblige Nicolas.....

Thomas did some nice work with this Zenith 135 movement. Always enjoyable to listen to these slow-beat movements during times when it is quiet. Darren ...
Thanks Mark.

I haven't posted anything on this one in awhile, and it got a new "face" a year or so ago. Darren

I met Thomas Prescher @Baselworld in 2008. I have such respect and admiration for his trailblazing and rebellious attitude, bringing the multi axis tourbillons to the wrist. All the big brands are simply followers, in my book at least. Thank you, Darren, ...
Yes, agree that Thomas is on the cutting edge....

This one was clearly on the conservative side for him. His ultra-complicated watches are something to behold - I hope to have an opportunity to see them in the metal some day. Thanks for the kind words. Darren

My kind of project. Thanks for sharing. BR
Projects with Thomas tend to be quite easy....

as he is extremely organized, communicates throughout and, of course, delivers a work of art when it's all said and done. Thanks for the comments. Darren
No problem Nicolas....

I have owned my Prescher for 3 or so years now, although it started life with a different dial (Roman numerals rather than Arabic numbers). Was fun to work with Thomas on multiple dials, as I can now switch back and forth depending on mood. The project st...
Ah yes, the other dial....

I miss that dial at times, so may have to swap them at some point in the near future. Your photography is quite a bit better than mine! Thanks for sharing this scan. Darren
Some great shots

You will the envy of the forum. You captured the soul of the watch. HAGWE Bill
Flattering words Bill ....

but the soul you see in the pictures was created and given life by Thomas. Hard to take bad photographs of his work. Darren
Very nice...

Lovely dial and hands - and impressive photogrhy too!
Thanks CJ.

The hands were a bit of a departure from Thomas' more typical skeleton hands that he was using at that time. Darren
Amazing watch!

pieces in Independents and had to comment on this one! Incredible piece. The update with the numbers really makes this watch. Did you suggest the finishing on the dial yourself? Incredible design touch!
Beautiful unique watch!

This dial makes me think of De Bethune style for some reason.
That is a beautiful watch.

The dial texture is especially lovely. And the movement finishing as well. Congratulations. Would you be able to post the original dial as well?
