Wow...an senior staff from Patek Philippe and setup this new company in 1990.
Some quick summary of Mr. Andersen credentials extracted Andersen-Geneve watch website:
"In 1884 the visionary Sandford Flemming invented in Washington the 24 timezones that are used to tell time on earth. In 1930 Mr. Louis Cottier, a watchmaker from Carouge in Geneva, developed a complication for pocket watches to display multiple timezones. This complication was introduced on a wristwatch by Mr. Cottier in 1950. Mr. ANDERSEN has been servicing watches with this complication while working at Patek Philippe in the “Atelier des grandes complications” in the 70’s (he spent 9 years at Patek Philippe).
In 1990 ANDERSEN Genève presented its 1st Edition of Worldtime watch – the "Communication" - commemorating the 1st Worldtime wristwatch produced by Mr. Cottier. The module developed and assembled by ANDERSEN Genève gives an easy way to read the time all around the world, without pushing buttons or turning crowns.
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th following Editions were called "Christophorus Colombus", "Mundus" and "1884“in 2004.
In 2015 the 5th edition of Worldtime watch – the "Tempus Terrae"- commemorates the first Worldtime wristwatch with two crowns developed by Louis Cottier in the 50’s; one of the most beautiful Worldtime watch ever created. Mr. Cottier was so successful that he made Worldtime watches for Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and even Rolex.
The timezones indication has been continually optimised since ANDERSEN Genève’s first Worldtime watch 25 years ago, in 1990."
A PP DNA watch at Rolie price level. My personal opinion it's a good deal.
