The 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.
