The first watch to be introduced in this series is a tribute to wine, honouring the various stages involved in the wine-making process. Wine not only being significant in a gentleman’s life but more importantly the watch celebrates and draws attention to wine growers and wine lovers from the past, present and future. One rotating disc turning one time in 365 days displays the twelve scenes of the wine grower’s work which is to be done over the year (over 12 months). Wine growers being the craftsmen in their art!
This timepiece, with 21'600 A/h and a 36-hour power reserve, has been manufactured in collaboration with the greatest masters in their respective art field. By unifying their ultimate know-how, this automatic timepiece is capturing the essence of craftsmanship. Craftsmanship, for which Andersen Genève is highly regarded since 1980 - the watch unveils the signature intricacies from the watchmaker to the miniature painter.
The front of the watch is revealing an exclusive dial made from 21 ct blue gold with “tapisserie” hand guilloché pattern; blue gold being a signature at Andersen Genève that requires the help of a jeweller to obtain those gold colours. The “tapisserie” pattern is the achievement of another man, a man with passion for guilloché.
The 42.5mm red gold back offers a large space for special hand engraved scenes or landscapes; wine yards from different regions in the world is a much appreciated theme.
Even the very unique two-tone red & white gold case has been manufactured by a craftsman. With over 30 years of case making experience, the “Empire Style” case with flutes (cannelures in French) is made in a traditional way without the use of a CNC machine.
