The Qatar Watch by Thomas Prescher
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 Thomas Prescher was asked if he could do a watch with a flag or national symbol. After asking for what country, the answer was: ¯¿½Qatar¯¿½.
After a lot of research about this exceptional country, a picture of its Coat of arms inspired Thomas Prescher.
The coat of arms of (Arabic: ???? ????) shows two crossed swords in a yellow circle. Between the swords there is a traditional sailing ship called dhow, sailing over the waves beside an island with two palm trees. The yellow circle is surrounded by a white and brown band, which is divided horizontally with a zigzag line.
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.
Thomas Prescher has 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. This could only be achieved through the use of a complicated and ingenious new system, which Thomas Prescher created specially for his watches, after studying and repairing old originals.
Excellent design, the finest materials, perfect processing, beauty for generations.
