Don't click if you're only into overhyped watches
Good to know you did click :-)
Here's a watch you probably didn't know it exists cause after all this independent is not well known and this watch is a LE of only 7 pieces. Svend Andersen is probably THE independent watchmaker cause he ( together with Vincent Calabrese started the AHCI ) way before people like Vianney Halter, FP Journe, Franck Muller, Roger Dubuis and others were making watches. Franck Muller and others even were his students at some time in the past. Svend Andersen worked about a decade for Patek Philippe where he was responsible for the Patek WT ( Cottier based calibre ) I think we can say he is most famous for his WT and when he decided to create his own company around 1980 it was obvious world timers would be part of his DNA. Together with erotic watches and the montre a tact. Svend Andersen his Worldtimers First one was the communication in 1990 ( F.Piguet 9.51 calibre and on top Svend Andersen added an in-house world timer Module ) Second was the Christopher Columbus ( 500 pce limited edition) 3rd , in 1993 the WT Mundus came out 4th was the ref '1884' that came out in 2004 And ( 5th or recently the 'Tempus Terrae') During the second series he made also a WT with chronograph function 30 were made in yellow and white gold cases. The dials were beige, white and bleu and 21 ' OM.21' were made. (7 in Red gold, 7 in white gold and 7 in platinum) Anyway, the WT chrono is one I liked quite much mainly because of the size. The first 2 WT he made were imo too small but the chrono with it's 39mm is ok for me. The chronograph is a Lemania with again an Andersen WT module added to it

True pieces of horological art. I Romberg seeing several articles about both he and his creations in the past. No one will talk about the watchmaking skills he possesses. Glad to see this posting. Thanks.

Thanks guys !! But again a bit disappointed with this forum It used to be otherwise in the past Now posts about overhyped watches get all the attention and (allow me to say) posts like this that most people don’t get attention Well sign of the times I’m afraid
