New Nemo Officer watch from Thomas Prescher
Dec 19, 2018,02:06 AM
Hi fellow Purists! Anyone else here noticed the announcement of a new Nemo Officer watch from the great independent watchmaker who made the first Triple Axis Tourbillon wristwatch, Thomas Prescher, just over a week ago? I think it's a very cool piece. Here are a couple of photos I've borrowed from his web site.
It utilises the same retrograde mechanism that's in his Tempusvivendi watches, but cased in the steam-punk Nemo style case. The hours and minutes hands are made to look like an Engine Order Telegraph on a ship, and a long seconds hand over a 30-second sector are design cues that make this watch stand out. It's quite attractively priced and comes standard with a closed back, but open case/back with rotor options are available, I've been told. Case size is 44mm but looks thin enough to wear well.
What do you think?

In these images, the hour and minute indicators are at 0 if you will. Resting in a fixed location. By pushing the button, switches the indicators to the current time. The watch works in two modes, one showing current time and one not. Kind of fun and from...

I knew someone would know, and it wasn't clear from his website either. Thank goodness for shared knowledge among friends. Mike
Sorry for the late response

And thanks Tim for the explanation! It's a nice little complication to be able to put the hands into a fixed location to appreciate the beauty of it while the time is still running.
