Praeludium Automatic
Ref. P21.000
Our Praeludium Automatic is the automatic brother of the timepiece that started our watchmaking adventure. While studying at the Conservatoire in Italy, Yvo Staudt designed his first watch as a way to combat his loneliness. His design needed to meet three criteria: a blue dial, top quality, and an understated look. This personal project resulted in a venture that led to the foundation of Staudt Twenthe: the Praeludium collection.

The rotor has a circular cote de Geneve striped finish and is coated in 18-carat rose gold. The Staudt crest is engraved with pride on the movement's rotor.
Handcrafted in Italy
Our straps are made with love. In a small atelier in the northern part of Italy our straps are made by hand from the finest hides. Every piece of leather is vegetable tanned and is CITES-certificated. Our timepieces are standard fitted with an alligator leather strap, but you can also choose for other types of leather.
Staudt Blue
The colour of the outer ring of the dials in our Praeludium collection are build in 12 layers. Therefor we use an century old lithography machine, to make Staudt blue. The outer ring of the dial is spray painted by hand.
