Thomas Prescher at BaselWorld 2012

AHCI member Thomas Prescher showed his newest, the Sailer model, along with his amaising 3-axis tourbillons, manigfaltige retrograde models and the QP perpetual calendar with all indications by hands from the center.

After the fair I realised that I had no good picture of the Sailer so called Thomas to make a visit and get to know the Sailer better. Again a watch where I was somewhat sceptical at the beginning which in the metal has convinced me. The bronze case parts have a wonderful warm color that fits just perfectly with the slight blue tint of the dial. Check out the last two pictures taken outside in the sun. The colors are beautiful. And for those who need to know, they are completely made by Thomas himself.
