Svend Andersen Geneve Worldtimer chronograph

Andersen Genève is a renowned independent Swiss watchmaking brand founded by Danish watchmaker Svend Andersen in 1980. Known for producing highly sophisticated and artistic timepieces, Andersen Genève specializes in creating pièce uniques and bespoke watches, often incorporating complications such as world timers and automaton dials.

Svend Andersen, formerly a master watchmaker at Patek Philippe, brought his expertise to establish his own house, swiftly earning a reputation for innovation and exceptional craftsmanship. Additionally, Andersen Genève is celebrated for pioneering rare and artisanal techniques, including enamel dials, hand engraving, and the use of unusual case materials.

This watch is an early iteration of a world time chronograph by Andersen Genève, produced circa 1990. During this period, Andersen was a true pioneer in independent watchmaking, releasing extraordinary innovations never seen before. This particular piece features both a chronograph and a world time complication, showcasing Andersen Genève’s mastery of world timers crafted in the classical tradition of Louis Cottier, the original inventor of the complication.

Svend Andersen’s experience with Cottier-inspired world timers dates back to his time in Patek Philippe’s Grand Complications workshop in the 1970s, where he began his early career.

Inside beats the iconic Lemania 1873 caliber, ensuring excellent timekeeping. The watch remains in great condition considering its age.

If you are a watch enthusiast wondering what could possibly be added to an already perfect collection, look no further. This Andersen Genève is truly a watch like no other.
