Goldpfeil × Antoine Preziuso: The art of leather and horology A distinctive collaboration between German luxury leather goods house Goldpfeil and independent Swiss watchmaker Antoine Preziuso, the Seven Masters “The Leather Watch” brings together two traditions of craftsmanship in an unusually elegant design. Conceived in 2001 as part of Goldpfeil's Seven Masters project, which brought together seven members of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI), Preziuso's contribution pays tribute to the house's leatherworking heritage. Limited to a series of 150 pieces, the watch features a finely grained leather-covered dial with applied gold rivet markers, matched by a leather strap. Its polished yellow-gold case conceals a beautifully hand-engraved automatic movement, visible through the sapphire crystal display back. The elaborate scrollwork and openworked oscillating weight offer a striking contrast to the restraint of the dial. Combining fine leatherwork, precious-metal craftsmanship and independent watchmaking, this unusual creation reflects Preziuso's inventive approach to traditional horology and remains a compelling example of the early Seven Masters collaboration. --
