ANDERSENWORLD TIME WRISTWATCH, LIMITED EDITION NO. 20/24

The present wristwatch is number 20 of a limited edition of 24 pieces. World time wristwatches first appeared as unique creations in the early 20th century, and the first serially produced wristwatch model came in 1939: reference 1415 by Patek Philippe. With intercontinental travelling and communication becoming more and more common, this complication as well received more and more attention, and today it is one of the most appreciated and recognized on the market. The iconic 24 hour ring and city ring construction, invented by genius watchmaker Louis Cottier in the 1930s and virtually unchanged since then, is both extremely readable and aesthetically striking.
