A few pictures of my Prescher for no particular reason.....
Snapped a few shots of my Prescher the other day, so here they are.
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.
Darren
For no other particular reason than our biggest pleasure.
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
The architecture of the dial made me think about a nice movement...
My guess was right!
In my wish list, directly. I cannot say better!
Best, my friend.

I don't remember having seen this one
It looks very nice, congratz Darren and thanks for sharing 
Cheers, Mark

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

Respect
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, for posting.
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
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
Hey, Darren, allow me to come back with some questions...
For how long do you own it?
How did you get it? Directly, or second " hand "?
You drove me crazy with this one!
Best,
Nicolas
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 started when I was able to locate an orphan Zenith 135 movement. I had always been fascinated by the old competition chronometre movements (Peseux 260, Omega 30T2rg, etc.), and with one in hand I reached out to Thomas to see if he was game to create a timepiece around it. I loved Thomas' complicated timepieces, and figured he would do an amazing job if given a chance to devote all of his attention to a non-complicated watch such as this.
From first e-mail to delivered timepiece was just over 1 year as I recall, and I was kept up to speed throughout. His attention to detail is evident throughout the watch.
I wear the watch frequently, and also enjoy listening to the sound of the slow-beat movement.
Hope this answers your questions.
Darren
This answers all my questions. Thank you, Darren, for sharing this great adventure. [nt]
No message body
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
Yes, but Darren's dial is really something. One little detail, the numbers, which changes
All...
Best,
Nicolas
Some great shots
You will the envy of the forum.
You captured the soul of the watch.

You captured the soul of the watch.

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
Thanks CJ.
The hands were a bit of a departure from Thomas' more typical skeleton hands that he was using at that time.
Darren
Boy do I love this watch!! Its dial, case and of course movement are TOP!!
I was surfing the net the other day and found pix of your watch. I love this piece!!!!

Amazing watch!
Your customised watch by Thomas Prescher is perfect Darren! Beautiful movement, dial, and wonderful execution by Thomas.
A very special one
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.
Doing some browsing on some older
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?
