Only Eight People Can Get This Watch. Everyone Else Can Continue Scrolling.

The Setup

Andersen Genève’s Rattrapante Mondiale combines two of watchmaking’s most demanding complications into a single wristwatch: a split-seconds chronograph and a worldtimer. At its core is a restored Venus 179 movement from the mid 20th century, finished entirely by hand and paired with an ultra-thin world time module developed in-house. The platinum case stays compact at under 39mm, while a layered sapphire city disc keeps the dial legible without visual clutter. Limited to eight pieces, the Rattrapante Mondiale sits squarely in the realm of serious independent watchmaking.

Andersen Genève is not chasing attention. The brand builds its story around difficulty, patience, and completion. Novelty and accessibility comes last. Using a vintage movement is a declaration of values. No retro gestures here. Craft is shown through execution. Even the engraving of the watchmakers’ names on the caseback reinforces authorship. This approach filters the audience by design. If you understand what you are looking at, the watch speaks clearly. If you do not, it is content to remain quiet.
