AV86 (About Vintage by Skov Andersen)

AV86 is the newer name of Danish watch brand About Vintage, also known as About Vintage by Skov Andersen. Thomas Andersen and Sebastian Skov established the brand in 2014. Its design identity is associated with Copenhagen and inspiration from older watches.

Names and model numbers

The maker explains AV as About Vintage and 86 as the founders' birth year. Names such as 1564 and 1815 are model identifiers rather than manufacturing dates.

Assessing a pre-owned watch

Record the actual names on dial, case back and documents. Older About Vintage branding is not inherently incorrect merely because the current website uses AV86. Check reference, calibre, dimensions and execution for the specific model. Danish design alone does not establish where every movement or component was made. Vintage styling does not make a watch an antique.
