Although I don’t want to neglect his great other collection of time pieces, such as the trilogy comprising single-axes, double-axis and triple-axis tourbillons, Thomas Prescher now introduces his Triple Axis Tourbillon Regulator time piece.This piece of art has a 43mm replica audemars piguet watches x 16.5mm watch case in either 18 carat pink gold or platinum (Pt950) and an absolutely stunning dial made out of natural black onyx, 50% thicker than usual onyx dials to guarantee a richer blackness. Of course, the hand made black alligator strap comes with a matching buckle in either 18 carat pink gold or platinum.All very nice and impressive, but the mechanical movement is the object and real piece of art we watch nuts are looking for, of course. So how about it?I am pretty sure you all know the tourbillon basics, since there are a lot of them on the market (lately). Myself, I got a pretty good understanding of them when Bernhard Lederer of BLU watches took the time to explain the tourbillon movement to me during the meeting we had in 2009 at BaselWorld.Thomas Prescher’s tourbillon movements are so-called flying tourbillons, since they only connect to one side.
As you can see below, Kristian took pictures of his Patek in its natural (and nautical) environment. As the 5711/1A remains my favourite version of the Nautilus, this chronograph is surely more up to date in terms of design (thicker case and bracelet). I tried replica a lange soh both versions (5711/1A and 5980/1A) the day before yesterday, at the Tourneau TimeMachine boutique on 57th street in New York and was amazed how comfortable the chronograph version sits on the wrist in comparison to the more basic 5711/1A. Something to think about when the time is there to purchase one.Kristian demonstrates his photographing skills and his wonderful Nautilus Chronograph over at the Public Forum on TimeZone. Click here to see his other pictures as well.For the love of mechanical wonders, below is an image of the caliber CH 28-520C, from the official Patek Philippe website:The finish of both the mechanical automatic chronograph movement, case and bracelet are just top notch. Expect to pay around 27.500 Euro / 34.000 USD for this piece of haute horlogerie. Thomas Prescher did create excitement amongst watch collectors, he created a mechanical timepiece that is absolutely unique. A triple-axis tourbillon movement in a wrist watch. The Triple Axis replica audemars piguet Royal Oak Of Tourbillon Regulator, as the watch is being named, is again one of these great inventions of Thomas Prescher, since he started working for himself in 2002 and joined the AHCI in 2003.Before 2002, Thomas Prescher followed an appreniceship at IWC, followed by a great carreer at Audemars Piguet where he earned his Master Watchmaker certificate.Just before Thomas Prescher opened his own atelier, he was hired as a Production Manager for another big name in Swiss horology, Blancpain.Tourbillons seem to be the specialty of Thomas Prescher, as he already made a half-flying tourbillon watch during his apprenticeship at IWC. In 2002, he introduced the world’s first double-axis tourbillon with constant force-device. Actually, it was this invention that made him a candidate for the AHCI in 2003.
