In 1969 Svend Andersen made, as a hobby, his first Bottle Clock which was displayed at the “Montres et Bijoux” Show. This unique performance had brought him the renowned “Watchmaker of the impossible” as it was mentioned in the international press. Indeed, nobody had ever realized such a clock.
Patek Philippe got interested in ANDERSEN’s creations and, in 1969, Svend ANDERSEN joined their ”Atelier des grandes complications”.
Svend ANDERSEN launched his own workshop in the late ’70s after having spent 9 years at Patek Philippe. He started his career as an independent watchmaker by first manufacturing cases for Italian collectors. Satisfied with the high quality of the work, the watch collectors started to ask for their own bespoke timepieces (called “pièce unique”). Since then ANDERSEN Genève has been developing complicated watches like the annual calendar, perpetual calendar, and jumping hour calendar.
Svend ANDERSEN co-founded the AHCI – Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants
