Many Thanks for this post Emmanuel.
I like the brand Andersen Geneve very much and own 2 of their earlier World timers.
I note that they’ve hand finished the AS Movement. This is very welcome. It was a shortcoming (in my view) where the older models using this ebauche, may not have been finished to the standards that Modern Collectors have come to expect these days.
Svend Andersen according to an article I read, did not believe in finishing for it’s own sake and placed greater importance on function.
SJX mentioned this in his article about his journey with Andersen to make a custom watch. Andersen Geneve then arranged for the AS movement for his watch to be finished externally for a reasonable sum.
The other shortcoming that the AS Movement has is that the hour slots for the Worldtime wheel do not click into place. Setting the worldtime can be imprecise as the wheel ican move when screwing back the crown.
I hope they have resolved that issue with this release.

Lovely write up Emmanuel
I had made an enquiry last week on the Asia dial version and await a response. I love the lugs and size of the case. I wish the watch was also offered in white gold or better still, stainless steel!
That's great to read! I hope you will get a positive response!
I personally like the YG case a lot, but of course I understand your preference for white metals. Best, Emmanuel PS: have you seen the Americas dial?
BY FAR the most beautiful worldtimer ever
I know this is a personal opinion but to me this is better than any patek, VC, Breguet ,… worldtimer ever made Its just perfect in any possible way Thanks for this great article !!!
I love your enthusiasm, Bruno,
and share most of it. Aesthetically it’s incredibly appealing and yes it might be their absolute best WT. Cheers, Emmanuel
And by the way …..
Not an”investment” tip but rather something like “don’t say later that you didn’t know” I posted this on my IG stories a couple of days ago… ...
My pleasure. This watch deserved a proper report.
It is incredibly appealing and beautiful in many ways. Best, Emmanuel
