Its an unusually large (38mm) three hander with a 1200 cal. manual wind movement. and have just bought another with a 262 cal. movement (currently in the mail). I wish I was posting pics of this along with a tri compax but it remains on the list for now.....

I never paid attention to Universal watches because they look, in my mind, designed for old people (not that I'm young, by far). This post and the forthcoming one, show me another side of Universal and, looking around, they seem to be relatively inexpensi...

An experienced seller told me that ten days back, there was a rush towards Universal and the prices followed the rush. Recently it's possible to pay what the sellers consider "gold prices", if it's gold or close to nothing if is gold caped or SS. Yours is...

Dear Nilo, Universal Genève is IMHO one of the most interesting Swiss brand, amongst the inactive ones. It’s a pity they don’t produce anymore, and I think the last models (Baselworld 2009) don’t give justice to the brand’s history. One of the reason why ...

I'm collecting material about UG but it will take a lot of time to organize on a series of posts. One correction: It was Universal that cut the relations with Martel around 1955 by starting their own movement manufacture. The challenges faced by Martel, a...

The "who did what" story between Martel, UG and Zenith is unclear to many collectors and has been through considerable debates, it remains kind of a mystery to me Many collectors seem aligned with the El Primero chain of events you mention cheers, L

Here's a trace on my thin pocket watch. Straight is good, vertical is exactly keeping time: I let the watch run on my timing machine for an hour and it averages about 7 seconds a day slow, but what a nice line! Slow movement too, 18,000 bph I happened to ...
Very interesting ...

I should pay more attention to pocket watches. Here, except the gold ones, they sell on flea markets for a song. I had a few, that I acquired as "props" but never focused on any. Add to that, that I never saw a pocket made by Universal. Thanks, Nilo
