Andersen Genève

Svend Andersen was born in Denmark in 1942. After a four-year apprenticeship and his diploma from the Danish watchmaking school, he came to Switzerland in 1963. He worked with Gübelin in Lucerne and Geneva, then for nine years with Patek Philippe, before opening his own workshop in 1979.

Since then he has surprised the world with creations such as the Perpetual Secular Calendar, programmed for 400 years, the Hebraic calendar watch, the “Montre à Tact” and the “1884”. He also holds world records for the smallest calendar watch and the thinnest worldtime watch. Around eight unique watches, created to customers’ wishes, leave the atelier every year.
