Watches Universal Genève Vintage

At Atelier Victor, we are proud to offer you an exclusive selection of Universal Genève vintage watches, embodying the refinement and innovation of Swiss watchmaking. Founded in 1894, the house of Universal Genève quickly established itself as a major player thanks to its technical creations, precision chronographs, and elegant designs. A true pioneer in the design of automatic movements and complex chronographs, the brand has left an indelible mark on the history of watchmaking.

The origin and heritage of Universal Genève

The Universal Genève adventure begins in Le Locle before expanding to Genève, where the brand consolidates its international reputation. By the 1930s, Universal became famous for its precise and elegant chronographs, adopted by both aviators and athletes. Each watch was designed according to the most demanding Swiss standards, combining functionality, innovation, and aesthetics.

Iconic models: Polerouter, Compax, and Tri-Compax

Among the most iconic creations, the Universal Genève Polerouter holds a special place. Designed in 1954 by Gérald Genta at only 23 years old, it was created to celebrate the polar air routes of Scandinavian Airlines. Its elegant design, automatic micro-rotor movement, and exceptional precision make it today an essential collector's piece.

Other legendary models have contributed to the fame of Universal Genève: the Compax and the Tri-Compax, famous chronographs with multiple complications, combining date display, moon phases, and sub-dials with exemplary readability. These watches, sought after by collectors worldwide, illustrate the brand's technical mastery.

Exemplary manufacturing quality

The Universal Genève vintage watches are distinguished by their precision and finish quality. Cases in steel or 18k gold, dials with refined tones, dauphine hands, and applied indexes give each model a timeless elegance. The brand used high-quality movements — often produced in-house — renowned for their reliability and durability.
