Staudt watches

Staudt is a Dutch watch brand founded by Yvo Staudt, a classical accordionist who turned to watch design and in 2014 stopped performing to work on watches full time. His first watch dates from 2013, and the first Staudt Praeludium watches were made at the end of 2014, followed by a full collection in October 2015.

The Praeludium hand-wound model used a 42.5 mm case and a modified Unitas 6498-1 movement running at 21,600 vph with 19 jewels; an automatic version used an ETA movement. Current models include the Prelude Automatic, Prelude Hand Wound and Prelude Petite Plus.
