Catalogue Essay
Antoine Preziuso is an unbridled creative force in the modern watchmaking panorama. This iconoclastic vocation was apparent since the very first watch bearing his name , executed in 1986, which bears a Carrara marble dial.
Recipient of two Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève awards in 2015 and of the Gaia prize in 2020, Preziuso kept and increased his reputation as “enfant terrible” of the watchmaking world.
The present creation fully represents the enormous creativity of the watchmaker. Not only the case pivots so that it can be worn upside down, thus showing the movement of the watch, it is further constructed with a highly ingenious hidden frame which allows the watch to be used as desk clock once not on the wrist. A truly whimsical creation that will never cease to fascinate its new lucky owner.
