Horological Meandering

Really a MUST SEE video (Andersen Geneve)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOwUHcX94VQ

As I said before, Svend Andersen is the godfather of independent horology. Most of today's independent watchmakers wouldn't probably exist if 45 years ago Svend wouldn't have done what he did.

This 35-minute video offers a great overview of what Andersen has done in the past and everything it has accomplished. As I’ve mentioned before, it once again highlights that this remains a very honest and genuine brand, without the ridiculous hype we see today around so many independent makers.

Beyond that, it’s simply a video worth watching: beautifully presented and refreshingly free of the marketing nonsense that has become all too common among independents today.

The history of the Worldtimer, Andersen’s flagship creation, is clearly explained—along with how it later went on to inspire many other brands.
