Antoine Preziuso was born in Geneva in 1957 and trained at the Geneva Watchmaking School, graduating as a watchmaker and restorer. He worked in Patek Philippe's complications workshop, then at Antiquorum, and opened an antique horology workshop in Geneva in 1981. In 1991 he introduced the first Antoine Preziuso watch, a minute repeater perpetual calendar with a patented rotating-bezel striking mechanism and the Poinçon de Genève. He joined the AHCI in 1996. In 2015, the Tourbillon of Tourbillons, developed with his son Florian, won both the GPHG Innovation Watch Prize and Public Prize.
