Antoine Preziuso - GTS Grand Tourbillon Sport


 Antoine Preziuso - GTS Grand Tourbillon Sport

At the upcoming Baselworld show, which begins March 8th, Antoine Preziuso will unveil the Grand Tourbillon Sport GTS. 

The GTS comes in a 52 x 45 mm tonneau shaped case made of ChromeCobalt (Co-Cr), which is a very strong cobalt and chromium alloy. Powering the GTS is hand-wound caliber APG/28T with 19 jewels, a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz) and a power reserve of 110-hours. Functions include hours, minutes and tourbillon seconds. A sapphire crystal on the front and back allow a view into the beautifully finished skeleton movement. Water-resistance is 30 meters. Comes with a black crocodile strap with red top-stitching and a folding clasp.


The GTS Grand Tourbillon Sport features a tactile rounded tonneau case measuring 52 x 45mm, constructed from ChromeCobalt, a tough, techy alloy.  The shapes and styling are reminiscent of racing cars, a passion of its creator – note the “speedo” open-worked hands, a blast of red against the look-see dial, and of course, the showcase tourbillon at 6 o’clock.

Angular Momentum - Poetic Interworlds

 Angular Momentum watch company uses the unique “Verre Èglomisé“ ornamentation technique in its exclusive masterpieces' production. This technique implies application of miniature paintings on the back sides of the watches' crystals of dials. “Verre Èglomisé“ technique was elaborated and is used only by Angular Momentum of Switzerland brand. The patented Revolving Hour-disk "à Souscription" time indication system (patent number CH686988) enables the company's craftsmen to create beautiful miniature masterpieces, not interferring with the hour and minute hands. The timepieces' indications can be read through one or more apertures, carved in the crystal.
For some watch aficionados with extensive collections and for high watchmaking art lovers it's the top of exclusivity to have a bespoke timepiece. Custom-made timepieces creation is not a novelty in watchmaking, bespoke time measuring instruments have been made as long as collectors have existed. Since this strive for uniqueness has become more and more prolific in watchmaking, the company has found a way to make its products even more exclusive, creating single piece watches, bringing the ability to meet someone with the same timepiece to zero.
Angular Momentum watches can be bought through a small but exclusive high-end jewelery boutiques network in many different countries of the world and, of course, at Angular Momentum boutiques in Switzerland.
