Communication 45
A new landmark
Named after the legendary Communication watch of 1990 – the first serially produced ANDERSEN Genève wristwatch – the Communication 45 marks ANDERSEN Genève’s 45th anniversary in sumptuous style. With a 38mm case crafted from 3N yellow gold, sculpted lugs, and a golden dial map inlaid into a centre dial of cognac-toned BlueGold, it is offered in three 15-piece editions, with maps of Europe, Asia or the Americas respectively.

“The maps are inlaid in yellow gold into the cognac dial. We had to develop a complex new process for this, but the result is incredible.”— — Pierre-Alexandre Aeschlimann, CEO
The handmade case features distinctive lugs inspired by teardrop style of those in the original 1990 Communication, now given a more fuller, more sculptural cornes-de-vache profile. The centre dial is in our hallmark material, 21-carat BlueGold that is created in our Geneva workshop and kiln-heated to achieve a burnished ‘cognac’ tonality, engraved with our customary wave-form tapisserie.
The sensational dial map features landmasses hollowed out and infilled with pure gold, via a multi-stage processed developed for this watch. The cream-toned city ring features a new, bespoke font for perfect legibility, while the two-tone 24-hour ring features embossed numerals for the night, and recessed numerals for the day.
Inside, the worldtime function is powered by our ultra-thin, 0.9mm in-house complication module, originally developed by Svend Andersen for the 1990 Communication and made in our Geneva atelier. This is paired with a reworked vintage movement, fully hand-finished by our watchmakers. The bridges feature delicately frosted surfaces in high contrast to the chamfered and polished bevels and mirror polished screws; the BlueGold rotor, meanwhile, echoes the pattern and colour of the dial.
