Thomas Prescher Nemo Captain Triple Axis Tourbillon Watch
Thomas Prescher?strikes you as the type of man that knowingly knows something you don’t. What this special knowledge entails doesn’t seem to matter, but the German-born watchmaker regularly smiles reassuringly with a gleam in his eye that seems to tell you he’s figured something out about life that you haven’t. It could all just be something about his confident personality. He isn’t terribly forward with it, but he isn’t shy about reminding you that he, and only he possess certain techniques that make his little machines possible to produce. Once again he releases a watch with his special form of?triple axis tourbillon.Prescher is a compact man who currently lives in Switzerland producing a handful of rather intensely horological items each year. He has a bit of a reputation for being a rogue agent. Thomas does things his own way having a marked anti-establishment streak which seems typical with many independent watchmakers. Perhaps with good cause.
