a picture I took some time ago
But still love the picture AND the watch 
Svend Andersen ...
Imo THE godfather of independent watchmaking
Making his own watches since the late 1990's, during these more or less 45 years he made less than 1300 watches
Before that he worked for Patek Philippe during 9 years, mostly in the atelier des grandes complications.
Known for his 'monte a tact', erotic watches, jumping hours but his worldtimers must be the most iconic.
- 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
- 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
And the last one speaks the most to me ... his iconic Worldtimers including a nice Lemania based chronograph
