J'aime pas trop la montre mais je suis toujours sur le cul de la qualité des productions du monsieur.

A vision: That is normally the beginning of a time sculpture manufactured by Thomas Prescher. With excellent design, finest materials and perfect processing these dreams become reality step by step.
Recently I was asked if I could do a watch with a flag or national symbol. After asking for what country, the answer was: “Qatar”.
The idea was to show the time with the swords and after pressing the button in the crown having the correct image of the Qatar coat of arms. Unfortunately the swords would cross while indicating the time and so I could not use my normal system.
After a long and difficult developing process I now like to present you the making of and the result:
The realisation of the watch: One sword tip shows the minutes, while the other indicates the hours. With this retrograde system, after the swords reach the end of the index sector they jump back to the beginning to rise again.
After pushing the button in the crown the swords move to a resting position to show the original coat of arms in gold and noble colours. After a second push the swords move back to continue to show the actual time.
I have developed this exquisite concept to give the connoisseur the choice: Having the figure continuously showing the time or allowing it to simply remain in its non-temporal state.
