A real purist
winds his watch.
Reference number: P11.223-A03
Prelude Hand Wound. The pinnacle of a classical timepiece. The off-centre second's hand may remind you of old pocket watches, that is because the manual movement in this watch is based on one of the oldest movements out there. Make it yours by personalising it, with your unique text on the dial for example.

Sheer. Elegance.
The curves of the Prelude Hand Wound case are made to be understated. Due to its arched side profile, the 10.32mm height of the case appears pretty sleek. The case is crafted from stainless steel. It is fully polished, however, the sides are manually brushed horizontally.

Silver plated dial. Seconds at six o'clock. 18 carat gold-plated applied numerals. Stainless steel case. An understated design. Domed polished leaf-hands that end exactly in the middle of the minute track. And much more... Oh boy, we love making watches.
Silver plated dial.
The hands are curved by hand to take up less space, so the watch can be a little bit thinner.
18 carat gold-plated applied Arabic numerals.
Thermo blued seconds hand at six o'clock.
Very fine-milled lines give a subtle shiny effect to the subdial.
Into the mind of the maker. As the decentralised seconds hand intersects the recessed circle in the dial, the watch oozes a lot of composure. It is not without reason that (almost) nothing has changed to the design over the past decade.
