Antoine Preziuso Grand Tourbillon Sport GTS [Baselworld 2012]

There’s kind of a sting in the tail with this one – albeit a luxury sting!

More on that in a bit.

The Antoine Preziuso Grand Tourbillon Sport GTS is a biggun’ at 52mm.

It’s made from the unusual combination – for a watch – of cobalt and chromium alloy.

Makes it very strong apparently.

The movement is a hand-wound caliber APG/28T unit. This has 19 jewels and a power reserve of 110 hours.

You get a sapphire crystal on the front and back and water resistance to 30 meters.

The watch comes wearing a black crocodile strap with red stitching and a folding clasp.

And the ‘sting’?

Well, just a soft one: you can only pick this one up in Geneva.

The saving grace may be that the price of purchase also includes a business class flight and a couple of nights in a hotel to allow you to do so.

Not sure about you, but I think I’d rather they sold it over here and save me the extra dough! :-)

Antoine Preziuso Power Inside

[Press Release] This powerful timepiece reflects the benefits of a dynamic lifestyle by displaying the level of energy drawn from its wearer’s activities and movements.

A watch clearly cut out to accompany the contemporary warriors of our urban jungles.

Power in movement

This self-winding watch draws its energy from a spring that is wound by the wearer’s movements and transmitted to a circular rotor. This extremely environment-friendly form of energy derived from human movement is more up to date than ever, perfectly ecological and creates a ‘win-win’ situation that benefits both the user and the watch. In our somewhat sedentary age, this indication will stimulate the need to engage in physical exercise.

Energy to spare

Like the tachometer on a sports car, the “Power” segment sends a permanent message to the wearer regarding the energy present in the mechanism, and when the indicator is near the “Fine” zone, its owner can note that he and his watch form a dynamic tandem!

A winning attitude

The dial design of this sleekly sophisticated model highlights the “Energy” segment with its red hand pointing to graduations ranging from “Down” to “Fine”. The spear-shaped hands are openworked to ensure optimal aesthetic clarity and readability. The large 48 mm-diameter and 13 mm-thick case is made of stainless steel. The contemporary architecture of this new creation ensures a rigid, sturdy and light structure distinguished by supporting pillars and fully removable lugs.

24 customised screws embodying the Antoine Preziuso Geneve identity surround and secure the case while ensuring perfect water resistance, while the strap in bright red overstitched carbon fibre and Porosus crocodile leather further accentuates the intensity of the “Energy” sector pointer.
