Andersen Worldtimer Chronograph
Svend Andersen his Worldtimers
First one was the communication in 1990 ( F.Piguet 9.51 calibre and on top Svend Andersen added an in-house world timer Module )
Second was the Christopher Columbus ( 500 pce limited edition)
3rd , in 1993 the WT Mundus came out
4th was the ref '1884' that came out in 2004
And ( 5th or recently the 'Tempus Terrae')
During the second series he made also a WT with chronograph function
According to another member of this forum Svend Andersen made about 50 world timer chronograph watches.
30 were made in yellow and white gold cases. The dials were beige, white and bleu and 21 ' OM.21' were made. (7 in Red gold, 7 in white gold and 7 in platinum)
Svend Andersen worked about a decade for Patek Philippe where he was responsible for the Patek WT ( Cottier based calibre )
I think we can say he is most famous for his WT and when he decided to create his own company around 1980 it was obvious world timers would be part of his DNA.
Together with erotic watches and the montre a tact.
Anyway, the WT chrono is one I liked quite much mainly because of the size. The first 2 WT he made were imo too small but the chrono with it's 39mm is ok for me.
The chronograph is a Lemania with again an Andersen WT module added to it
As you can see ( terrible on the pics but not so bad when wearing the watch ) some black paint has gone on the bezel ( engraved cities )
No idea if I want to get this fixed or leave it as is.

Nice one!
BTW Can anyone explain the time difference between Auckland and Wellington? NZ has two time zones, but N and S island are on same time. Was this different in the past? Thanks, W.

Great post on a great Dane
I still remember one of my horological highlights when I actually met Svend in 2012 at Basel fair. I had a photo taken with him and me and had his autograph and greeting in a book Than something funny happened… Than he asked where I come from in 🇩🇰 Denmar...
