My son came from Switzerland, couldn't resist to import the Andersen minute repeater >>

About 12 years back I found a small pocket watch with minute repeater from Henry Capt, Geneva. Excellent quality, fine gongs and very small in diameter.

Sven Andersen agreed to undertake a beautyful acclomplishment. He embedded the movement into a marvelous hand engraved golden case, created a sublime dial and added a perpetual calendar, retrograde date, 4-year indication and a moon phase.

I have not seen this watch in quite a few years and I have taken some pictures:

1. the watch in early morning light:

2. the watch in the afternoon sun

3. the movement with the hammers and the inscription of Henry Capt, Geneve

I think that Andersen made a outstanding piece and I for one am proud to possess it.

Cheers to all
