The dial is made of gilt metal and preserves the original acrylic-glass pane in fine condition. It mounts stylized triangular metal hands and has the manufacturer’s name, logo and model at the 12 position. The crown bears the embossed brand logo, a capital U. If we remove the rear cap, inside we will find the manufacturer’s mark and the 18K gold mark with the gold proportion, 0.750. The movement is wonderfully preserved and is a real beauty, with engraved golden inscriptions with details about its characteristics. We can also see the micro rotor, the part which makes it possible to wind automatic watches, which in this case is particularly small and characteristic of this model.

Universal Watches – History

The Swiss watchmaker company Universal Genève S.A. was founded in 1894 as Universal Watch Company by Ulysse Perret and Numa-Emile Descombes. Although in the beginning the workshop was located in Le Locle, in 1919 it moved to Geneva. Then the company changed its commercial name and included the city’s name too. From the first days the firm made high-quality and luxury watches and were internationally renowned for their quality manufacture, design and craftsmanship. The company also makes historical claim for producing the first chronographic wristwatch in 1917. Today the firm is still a worldly-renowned company in the field of luxury and quality watches.
