REMARKABLE COLLECTION OF RARE TIMEPIECS FROM CELEBRATED WATCHMAKER SVEND ANDERSEN OFFERED BY ANTIQUORUM ON 10 APRIL.
At RM 63,000 it is considered a steal so make a bid for it!
Antiquorum is pleased to present an outstanding assortment of fine timepieces at
their April 10th auction of “Important Modern & Vintage
Timepieces.” Amongst the 404 lots included in the sale, Antiquorum watch
experts are delighted to offer property from an American Collection
encompassing nine wristwatches from the celebrated Danish watchmaker, Svend
Andersen.
Recognized for his remarkable dial design and
extraordinary complications, Mr. Andersen first became known to the watch
community when he built a clock in a bottle and presented it on Swiss
television which earned him the title, “the watchmaker of the impossible.”
This led to a position in the complications department at Patek Philippe
under the legendary watchmaker, Max Berney. After three years there, he set up
his own workshop in 1979. His reputation for exceptional design and
craftsmanship developed over the years and in 1985, together with Vincent
Calabrese, Mr. Andersen co-founded the Acadèmie Horlogère des Créateurs
Indépendents (AHCI), recognizing independent watchmakers for their work.
Included in the collection offered at Antiquorum’s
April 10th auction are three of Svend Andersen’s renowned “Montre
à Tact” wristwatches. Amongst them is the Svend Andersen Montre à
Tact Mokume designed by Walter Haselberger. Made in 2002, the
Svend Andersen Montre à Tact, No. 15/33 is a fine and extremely rare,
self-winding 18K white gold wristwatch featuring a dual digital time display on
an 18K white gold dial with feathered sunburst pattern. This technique of
decorative metallurgy was invented during the 17th century in Japan
by Denbei Shoami (1651 – 1728) and was initially used for sword fittings. The
watch is accompanied by the original fitted winding box and Certificate of
Origin.
Estimate: $15,000 - $20,000
In addition, there is a Svend Andersen Eros 69
Unique Reversible Erotic Automaton in white gold. Made in 2007, this is a
very fine and large center seconds, 18K white gold erotic wristwatch
distinguished by its beautifully painted erotic automata and stylized
reversible case. It is accompanied by a cylindrical red leather Andersen box
with the signature in gold letters, Certificate of Origin and instructions.
Estimate: $ 25,000 – $40,000
Also offered is a Svend Andersen Kamar No. 8 Moon
Phase in pink gold, No 08/29. Made in a limited edition of 29 pieces in the
2000’s, this is a fine and extremely rare self-winding, 18K pink gold
wristwatch with an exceptional Jade dial and large moon phase display. It is
