Hi Christian,
I bought a couple of month's ago a Sven Anderson, and must say it's a really nice watch.
The watch is 42 mm white gold and with a open back, and i can say, if you find a nice one you like, then go for it, i think all of his watches are not made in 100's of pieces, so you will have something more unique then many orther brands.
Cheers,
Michel

Dear Sir, in reply to your questions: on the left side is a hidden lever>
which you activate like on all other minute repeaters, except that the lever is cleverly hidden inside the case. The case was certainly made by a case maker in Switzerland. Yes, I wear most of my watches, albeit I have some predilections. On the other han...
Dear Lord Arran
Thank you for your generous reply. It is quite elegant with the hidden lever. The guilloché is very nice, I paticulaly like your last picture where the relief stands out. On hte month dial there is a small aperture, I suspect this would have to do with th...
