Andersen Genève Montre à Tact ----> available at my boutique

Dear watch aficionado.

The Andersen Genève - Montre à Tact is a homage to the great Abraham Louis Breguet, who invented the montre à tact at the end of the 18th century because at that time it was seen as impolite to take out the pocket watch to see which time it is.




The Montre à Tact by Andersen Genève is a limited series of only 33 pieces and every timepiece can be individually personalized so that at the end there could be 33 individual Montre à Tact by Andersen Genève existing on earth! The one displayed on the photos is number 11/33 and comes with an outstanding beautiful blue gold, hand-guilloché dial! The case is white gold and the watch comes with a diameter of 39mm (dial) 42mm (caseback) and is only 9.8mm high.

At 6 o'clock you see the window for the second aperture for the time. This makes it the modern interpretation of Abraham Louis Breguets Montre à Tact invented in 1798. When wearing it on the wrist you don't have to look at the dial to read the time.





The Montre à Tact does wear really perfectly on the wrist and looks absolutely brilliant, the blue gold dial does have such an intensive colour, you will be getting hypnotised by this very special and super rare timepiece! The case is a real feast to the eyes too. With its beautifully art déco style conical shapes, 39mm (dial) 42mm (caseback), it wears outstandingly beautifully on the wrist.






Every single Andersen Genève - Montre à Tact is delivered with a beautiful Scatola del Tempo watchwinder. The movement is based on an AS and is completely rebuild and modified in the atelier of Svend Andersen. The powerreserve is 42 hours.



Herewith I invite you to have a look at the website of my boutique on which you may find as well more watches by Andersen Genève and other independent watch manufacturers: www.watchcollector.lu


Requests can be made via my website or directly by e-mail at the following address: info@watchcollector.lu

This is a limited series of only 30 pieces made in pink gold and this one is number 02/30. It features a sublime aventurine dial, which always remembers me about the stars on the sky by night, due to its outstanding and extraordinary dark deep blue color. The case is made in pink gold and gives a warm contrast to the dial. The more the case is only 7,5 mm thick and so it does wear very comfortable  and elegant on the wrist. And with its superbly art déco style lugs and case design this is really a dream dress watch for every distinguished gentlemen collector.

Guilloché lessons, some memories

Dear watch aficionado.

It is always nice to get remembered about great times in your life. And so for me this is when I am at the atelier of Jochen Benzinger and when I can get some practice on those fabulous guilloché machines. It is always a great honour and pleasure for me to learn this amazing craftmanship from a great master guillocheur.

On the first picture I am sitting at a rose engine guilloché machine, for me, these are the most beautiful machines to work on. It is quite hard to find the right pressure to put on the cutter so to cut out the material in the correct depth on the part you are working on. One has to push really hard but not too hard! One has to find the right feeling which takes a long time and long hours of pratice.



On the second picture a close up of the pratice dial I am working on. One can see that I have traced the outer minuterie already and the small seconds. Plus the small seconds I have finished already with a nice sun guilloché pattern.



I warmly invite you to take a look at the website of my boutique www.watchcollector.lu to discover the timepieces made by Benzinger.

Kind regards.
