Nicolas (amanico) brings to light the Andersen Genève BHH Celestial Voyageur, a limited-edition world timer that exemplifies haute horlogerie. His detailed review highlights the watch's exquisite craftsmanship and thoughtful design, prompting a discussion among collectors about the balance between artistic expression and brand recognition. This piece offers a deep dive into what makes an independent watchmaker's creation resonate with enthusiasts.
These are perfect and gorgeous Watches from a true master watchmaker . Would love to own a masterpiece from the brand one day , especially a word timer like this
These are perfect, aside from the name on the dial. It makes me want to contact Andersen Geneve--which I seem to recall does custom work for surprisingly reasonable prices--and ask them to make me one just like these, but sans logo!
A near perfect watch and a better rendition of the world timer than Andersen Geneve's own world timer which I believe is 39mm. But I guess, this is a collaboration so BCHH must appear somewhere. I would of course ask Svend to change the BCHH on the dial to SM!
I find it completely unnecessary on the dial side and suggests just a touch of 'vanity project'.
Since Svend doesn't actually 'run' the company anymore, I think these collaborations will serve to expand recognition and that has to be one of the objectives of any new owner. Perhaps there are more subtle ways to achieve this, but ultimately younger collectors will learn about Andersen and his watchmaking atelier. From an economics point of view, working to the needs of a client such as BCHH serves a purpose.
To ignore that logo, and concentrate on the rest of the dial?
