ANDERSEN Genève is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and unique timepieces, often featuring intricate complications and artistic designs. The brand is celebrated for its bespoke watches, which are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.


ANDERSEN Genève is an independent Swiss atelier founded by Svend Andersen, known as the 'King of Complications.' Based in Geneva, the brand specialises in unique, highly personalised grand complications including perpetual calendars, world timers, and astronomical displays. Andersen is celebrated for creating some of the world's most complex one-of-a-kind watches, often made entirely to individual client specification.
Svend Andersen is a Danish-born watchmaker who trained at Patek Philippe and worked for several prestigious Swiss houses before establishing his independent atelier in Geneva. He is a founding member of the AHCI (Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants), the association of independent watchmakers, and has been creating bespoke complicated timepieces since the 1980s. His deep technical knowledge allows him to conceive and build complications unavailable from major manufacturers.
ANDERSEN Genève produces an extremely limited number of watches each year — often fewer than 20 — with many being unique commissions for individual clients. This allows for extraordinary personalisation in complications, dial art, and case design. The brand is particularly known for its perpetual secular calendars, world timers, and erotica-themed automata watches that reference the rich tradition of Genevan erotic automata from the 18th century.
