A rare opportunity to meet Thomas, presents itself next month, Saturday February 25th to be exact, when he is making a whirlwind visit to southern CA, to present several of his extra-ordinary timepieces to collectors and aficionados of the world of micro-mechanical horological artistry...
Thomas was the first of a very small group of highly skilled artisan watchmakers who was able to create a triple axis tourbillon wristwatch. He pre-dated Greubel-Forsey, JLC, Aaron Becsei or any of the others. In fact he proposed his design to several of the mainstream big manufacturers, and after the third one, his former employer, turned him down saying it wasn't possible, he decided to do it himself.

Come meet Thomas during the day on the Saturday, Feb. 25th and experience some of his extra-ordinary pieces.
