The minutes...

The minutes are shown by the position of the leg holding the tourbillon.
There is also a triangular pointer which you can see best in this picture:



This is actually quite easy to see in reality, but seems difficult in the pictures because of the lack of depth of field.

Thomas Prescher - Nemo Captain The second of Thomas Prescher's Nemo series of watches is the Nemo Captain. We saw the press release last weekend and I got a call from Thomas yesterday "come quick to take pictures before the owner comes and takes it away!"...  

Love it...

But I can see where the hours are.... but what about minutes? Steampunk at its best and Thomas's tourbillon is simply stunning. Thanks for sharing Don, Andrew

That photo gives a nice perspective of the size of the watch. Stunning piece ! Thomas has indeed brought creativity and capitilized on the axial mvt in creating some astounding visual pieces. We would have never gotten to see any if not for your posts. Th...

Thomas Prescher has an unique style and knows how to create a specific atmosphere. I love both watches, the complex and the "simple". The way the Tourbillon is emphasized is superb. Thanks Don. Fx

I always admire Thomas as a innovative watchmaker.....

But there is always something lacking from my humble perspective....the lack of a certain attractiveness or "ohm" factor. Having met Thomas in person, I must say he is certainly a quite a character, and comes across as a man with strong convictions of his...

Water resistant?

I am sure that the original plans (see his website) found in the Nautilus made some provision for that, especially with a crown designed after a valve Imagine swimming with a triple-axis tourbillon, or snorkling around a reef to attract the curiosity of e... 

Thank you!

That is really an piece of horological art and something to treasure. Thanks, Don, for sharing with us!

Very true to theme!

They both look very true to their marine theme! Love the porthole tourbillon and also the patina is gorgeous on the Sailor!

I love this watch..the captain. Because it is the first time
