Andersen Genève – Watch Collector

Svend Andersen, watchmaker and co-founder of the AHCI, was born in Denmark in 1942. Watch Collector represents his exclusive and very rare timepieces, and Svend Andersen remains a generous source of advice.

After finishing watchmaking school he moved to Switzerland in 1963, working first for Gübelin in Lucerne and from 1965 for Gübelin in Geneva. In 1969 he joined the complications workshop of Patek Philippe, where he stayed until 1979, when he opened his own workshop. His first creation was the famous “Communication” watch, and from there he went on to invent some of the most complex watches of his time.
