Not your average indie. Not your average anything. If you know the name Antoine Preziuso, you’re already in deep. This isn’t entry-level watch collecting — this is the kind
of brand that shows up at Only Watch, turns heads at Basel, and then disappears back into the shadows of haute horology.
It’s indie, it’s intricate, and it’s the kind of watchmaking that makes even jaded collectors shut up and listen.
Antoine Preziuso launched his namesake brand in 1991, after spending years restoring vintage tourbillons and working with the likes of Patek Philippe. That’s right — this guy wasn’t
selling hype on Instagram. He was doing bench work. Real-deal, Geneva-trained, traditional watchmaking.
The brand quickly carved out a niche in the ultra-high-end space, producing limited-run pieces with hand-finished tourbillons, astronomical complications, and
cases made from wild materials like meteorite or Damascus steel.
Preziuso isn’t trying to scale. He’s crafting. And that’s a very different game.
This is where it gets spicy. Preziuso’s pieces are all over the spectrum — in the best way.
And most pieces? Limited to a handful. Sometimes just one.
Because this is real independent haute horology. No marketing department. No committee-designed cases. Just pure craftsmanship, often built by Antoine himself
or alongside his son, Florian — also a watchmaker.
Collectors who own a Preziuso don’t need to say anything. The watch says it all.
It’s a brand that blends old-world Swiss finishing with borderline sci-fi engineering. And unlike most brands playing in the six-figure sandbox, there’s real soul behind the metal.
Antoine Preziuso is still operating, still pushing the boundaries. You’ll find his work at the ultra-exclusive shows (think: Geneva Watch Days, Dubai Watch Week)
and at high-end auctions — but rarely in the wild.
Production is tiny. Prices are high. But so is the quality — and the individuality.
If you want something no one else at the table is wearing… start here.
I’ve only handled a few Preziuso pieces over the years — and every single one felt like a museum object. Not because they’re fragile, but because you can feel the handwork.
They’re not for everyone. They’re not supposed to be. But for the serious collector? This is catnip.
Delray Watch is always on the lookout for Antoine Preziuso Genève watches — especially Tourbillon of Tourbillons, Meteorite models, and other rare independent pieces.
