Andersen Geneve World Time 500th Anniversary Christopher Columbus 18k YG

Considered to be the godfather of modern independent watchmaking, Svend Andersen burst onto the scene of watchmaking at Montres et Bijoux at the age of just 27 after making a watch inside of a bottle. Known as the watchmaker of the impossible from that point on, Svend Andersen was destined for greatness within the world of horology, and he has successfully enacted upon that mission, with his watches considered some of the best made in the industry. A testament to the talents of his brand, which he started in 1979, 10 years after he made the bottle watch, Svend Andersen debuted the World Time 500th Anniversary Christopher Columbus in 1992, to celebrate, as its name states, the 500th anniversary of Christoper Columbus’ arrival onto the shores of the United States of America. Boasting a 35mm 18kt yellow gold case and powered by the automatic Audemars Piguet cal. 951 movement, this world time watch is fitted with a stunning dial with a silver chapter ring and blue depiction of the Atlantic ocean between the United States and Europe, with Columbus’ route highlighted as a subtle nod to the journey that transformed the world as we know it.
