Universal Genève, founded in 1894, was a leading innovator in Swiss watchmaking throughout the 20th century. By the 1960s, the brand had broadened its offerings beyond its famous chronographs and micro-rotor automatics to include a wide range of reliable dress and everyday watches. Universal Genève frequently utilized high-quality Swiss movements, including calibers from ETA, to deliver accessible automatic timepieces with refined styling and practical proportions. Watches from this era are recognized for their clean dials, gold-plated cases, and versatility, appealing to both men and women seeking understated sophistication.
