ANDERSEN GENÈVE has created a unique piece of the brand’s iconic Jumping Hours model to support the Only Watch 2023 charity auction.
This unique version of the Jumping Hours comes with a platinum case and a one-off dial made of black jade stone. The hour is indicated through a window at 12 o’clock, while the minutes are displayed on a sub-dial at 6 o’clock.
Counterbalancing the deep, alluring black tone of the dial, the chapter ring of the minutes sub-dial is in printed pink gold, as is the brand logo above the jumping hour window. Positioned at 3 o’clock, the crown in pink gold enhances the aesthetic harmony.
ANDERSEN Genève has been supporting Only Watch since the first edition in 2005, when it was the very first lot auctioned. Now, for the 10th Edition, the brand is once again to donating a Unique Piece to this noble cause. Exclusively made for the prestigious bi-annual charity event, this timepiece is an interpretation of the Andersen Genève Jumping Hours, launched in 2020 to celebrate the brand’s 40th Anniversary.
This unique piece combines a platinum case, plus pink gold crown, with a unique dial of pure jade stone, delicately cut to a thickness of just 0.4mm and worked to a perfectly flat, flawless finish.
This one-off-a-kind timekeeper houses the automatic Frédéric Piguet 11.50 calibre with a power reserve of 72 hours.
