Andersen Genève | 40th anniversary

In 2020, to celebrate its four decades of existence, Andersen Genève presented a magnificent Jumping Hours 40th Anniversary complication in red gold. To conclude this festive chapter, the Geneva-based company is revealing a final Jumping Hours model in platinum.

As usual, the brand has collaborated with passionate artisans – all of whom excel in their own field – to create this timepiece. The hand-engraved 21K blue gold “magic lozenges” dial is extremely difficult to achieve, requiring the guilloché specialist to use no less than three different machines, all of which he must master to perfection. The result is an exceptional dial creating shimmering reflections that vary as the light catches it from different angles. The caseback bears the inscription “40 years of independent timepiece creation”, hand-engraved on a blue gold ring. The centre of the yellow gold oscillating weight is engraved by hand with the Andersen Genève “A” logo. Watchmakers have also added their artistic touches to the finishing of the movement with very fine bevelling and mirror-polishing adorning the screws.

The hours appear through the 12 o’clock aperture and the single hand indicates the minutes in the 6 o’clock subdial. The key dates “1980” and “2020” marking this important anniversary are daintily displayed on the blue gold dial.
