Montre à Tact

The Andersen Genève – Montre à Tact is a homage to the great Abraham Louis Breguet, who invented the montre à tact at the end of the 18th century because at that time it was seen as impolite to take out the pocket watch to see which time it is.

The Montre à Tact by Andersen Genève is a limited series of only 33 pieces and every timepiece can be individually personalized so that at the end there could be 33 individual Montre à Tact by Andersen Genève existing on earth! The one displayed on the photos is number 11/33 and comes with an outstandingly beautiful blue gold, hand-guilloché dial! The case is white gold and the watch comes with a diameter of 39mm (dial) 42mm (caseback) and is only 9.8mm high.

At 6 o’clock you see the window for the second aperture for the time. This makes it the modern interpretation of Abraham Louis Breguet’s Montre à Tact invented in 1798. When wearing it on the wrist you don’t have to look at the dial to read the time.

The Montre à Tact does wear really perfectly on the wrist and looks absolutely brilliant, the blue gold dial does have such an intensive colour, you will be getting hypnotised by this very special and super rare timepiece! The case is a real feast to the eyes too. With its beautifully art déco style conical shapes, 39mm (dial) 42mm (caseback), it wears outstandingly beautifully on the wrist.

Every single Andersen Genève – Montre à Tact is delivered with a beautiful Scatola del Tempo watchwinder. The movement is based on an AS and is completely rebuilt and modified in the atelier of Svend Andersen. The power reserve is 42 hours.
