The Praeludium Hand Wound is the watch that started our watchmaking adventure. The current model is the fourth version of the very first watch that Yvo Staudt designed during his conservatoire studies. His design needed to meet three criteria: blue, top quality and understated. This personal project, stemming from an attempt to escape loneliness, resulted in the foundation of Staudt Twenthe: the Praeludium collection.
