Overview of the many Andersen Genève Worldtimers
Bruno.M1 's post from yesterday gave me the idea to regroup the many wolrdtimers made by Svend Andersen , who, during his nine years of work at Patek Philippe, became very accustomed to the Louis Cottier world time complication. A very demanding thread (s...
Wow! What a post!!
Well done and thank you for this elaborate coverage of Svend Andersen's masterpieces! Despite his other works, many will always associate him with worldtimers.
Well that's a great, great photo essay, E!
I guess I would be happy to possess any of the variations made over the years-the Shellman stood out to me; the Asprey; and the Tempus Terrae. Seeing Ben Chee's name on one was a big surprise. And it looked good too. Thanks for a comprehensive post.
Thank you so much.
I find myself incapable of saying which one speaks to me the most. One of the early variants I think... Best, Emmanuel
Speedy Gonzales ?
Yesterday you replied you might want to make a review about Svend Andersen Worldtimers Less than 24 hrs later you write a little book and post a zillion pictures Thanks, it was nice to see and read
Thank you, Bruno.
It just happened that I had the time to do it. But I wasn't far from a big headache with all these variants and photos! Best, Emmanuel
Wonderful aesthetics here, quattro.
Huge fan of Andersen. I'd opt for one of the smaller, older pieces.
Indeed, I wasn't far from a big headache with all this material...
Thanks for looking anyway. Best, Emmanuel
Hello Emmanuel , another post that is very interesting and is likely to send me down a rabbit hole!
I know virtually nothing about AG watches, but they are so pleasing to the eye and the details are so beautiful. No disrespect to PP’s WT but they seem on par with everything I’ve seen from that brand, again I know very little about both brands World Time...
Hi, Larry. I don’t know all that much about AG either, but I’ve had some interest in their watches.
Here, I tend to like the earlier variants more than the more recent ones. But if I decided to acquire a Worldtimer, it could be a PP 5110 rather than an AG. Why exactly, I don’t really know… Anyway thanks for your comment and your kind words. Best, Emmanu...
Amazing. I’ll add a “live” pic of the Sakura from a few months back.
Unfortunately the lighting was horrible. But it was (is) beautiful. I’ve looked at the newer watches a few times, including several of the Ben Chee editions. I am always drawn to a WT; the PP WT (ref 5110) was the first Patek I really wanted to own or was...
Thank you, Jay, for the pics of the Sakura, which seems to be really nice looking.
Like you, I think the Shellman is very attractive. But I also like the Communication and the Columbus. And, even if I really like these watches, I think I would still be even more attracted to a PP 5110. Anyway, thanks for your comment and have a great we...
