The "Celestial Voyager" Collection made by ANDERSEN Genève for BCHH (Benjamin Chee Haute Horlogerie) was launched in 2021 with a pre-series of 7 timepieces.
In 2022 an new series of "Celestial Voyager" timepieces was made in a limited edition of 10 timepieces: "Sunset over Cappadocia". A theme that is linked to travel.
Both series are made with a Pt950 platinum case, Aveneturine city ring and cloisonné enamel dials.
In 2023 a new series of "Celestial Voyager" is offered to collectors:
Celestial Voyager “Arctic Sunrise”
This is the first one made with a pink gold case. The theme is linked to "Northern lights" and the unique natural colors that one can discover by living this magic made by Mother Nature.
The choice of pink gold for the case and hands imparts a profound sense of timeless warmth and romantic elegance. It draws from the rich history of mid-century dress watches and acts as an excellent frame for the cloisonné enamel dial to express its full magnificence.
The ivory mother of pearl city ring with 24 cities in pink gold evoke dreams of flying through wispy clouds on the way to new adventures. It combines with the pink gold case to form a coherent and soothing appearance.
The "plat de resistance" is the cloisonné enamel & hand guilloché dial. It is created atop a solid white gold base that is intricately engine-turned (guilloche main) according to ancient and time-honoured techniques of craftsmanship. It is made on a guilloché machine dating back to XIXth century. Then afterwards the enamel Artist can start setting the gold wires (0.07mm of diameter) and filling the dial with colours. Thanks to the perfect collaboration between the Guilloché master and the enamel Artist the center dial is joyful for the eye; it is shining differently depending on the orientation. It is like it was breathing.
In the Celestial Voyager “Arctic Sunrise”, the enamel dial portrays the morning dawn over a snow-capped vista, with a clear blue sea embracing it. The combination of light blue and turquoise colours exudes a feeling of exuberance and joy that is enhanced by the guilloché sunrays. One can see the mountains made with the gold wire of just 0.07mm.
The Celestial Voyager “Arctic Sunrise” is contrasted with the Celestial Voyager “Permanent Collection” which comprises the eternal family of Continents (Eurasia, Americas, Atlantic etc.) & Countries map dials; these are not limited Editions per se but still highly limited in annual production.
100% made in Switzerland in the ANDERSEN Genève Ateliers in Geneva & La Chaux-de-Fonds. Cloisonné enamel & guilloché dial handcrafted in Neuchâtel state.
The Celestial Voyager “Arctic Sunrise” is a limited edition of 15 pieces, 5 per year produced over the next 3 years.
