Thomas Prescher

Thomas Prescher, a revered name in the world of haute horlogerie, founded his eponymous brand in 2002, making a substantial impact on contemporary watchmaking through his avant-garde creations and masterful complications. Prescher, hailing from Germany, displayed an early fascination with mechanics, eventually leading him to pursue an intensive study and career in watchmaking.

Prescher's entry into the prestigious world of Swiss watchmaking began with his formal education at the Watchmaking School in Solothurn, Switzerland. Later, he honed his skills at IWC Schaffhausen and served in the restoration department at Breguet in Geneva, where his craftsmanship further matured. 2003 marks a significant milestone, showcasing Prescher’s unique approach to horology with the release of his first Perpetual Calendar Double-Axis Tourbillon. This creation set a new standard, as it was the first wristwatch to incorporate a flying double-axis tourbillon, meticulously designed to eliminate gravitational errors in timekeeping.

In 2004, Prescher introduced yet another groundbreaking innovation with the Triple-Axis Tourbillon wristwatch. As a piece de resistance, the Triple-Axis Tourbillon captured global attention, notable for its sophisticated engineering and mesmerizing movement, demonstrating both Prescher's engineering prowess and artistic vision.

Prescher’s accolades extend beyond tourbillon inventions. The Tempusvivendi collection released in 2007, gained acclaim for marrying intricate automatons and classical elegance, with each piece drawing inspiration from mythology, history, and art. Through these timepieces, Prescher reinforced his commitment to blending storytelling with mechanical excellence.
