Universal Genève’s history began in 1894 in Le Locle, Switzerland, when watchmakers Ulysse Perret and Numa-Emile Descombes founded a company under the name Universal Watch. From its beginnings, the company stood out for its focus on precision and the production of complete wristwatches, something uncommon at that time when most manufacturers were focused on pocket watches.

First chronographs and focus on innovation

In the early decades of the 20th century, Universal Watch specialized in high-quality chronographs, becoming one of the first brands to design chronograph movements specifically for wristwatches. During the 1920s and 1930s, the brand established itself as a reference in the manufacture of sports and aviation chronographs, standing out for its innovative models and advanced mechanics.

Iconic models and international expansion

In the 1930s, Universal Genève gained visibility with the launch of iconic models such as the Compax, introduced in 1936, which was one of the first chronographs to include multiple subdials. This success was followed by more advanced versions, such as the Tri-Compax in 1944, which featured additional complications like moon phase indication, complete calendar, and chronograph function. These watches solidified Universal Genève as one of the leading innovators in the design of complex and elegant chronographs.

Popularity among celebrities and important figures

Universal Genève gained international fame and became a popular brand among celebrities and prominent personalities, such as General Charles de Gaulle and U.S. President Harry S. Truman. The brand was associated with elegance and precision, becoming a status symbol among high-end watch enthusiasts during the 1940s and 1950s.

Quartz crisis and difficulties in the 1970s

Like many Swiss brands, Universal Genève faced significant challenges during the quartz crisis in the 1970s, when Japanese quartz watches began to dominate the market due to their low cost and accuracy. This severely affected the brand’s financial stability, leading to several changes in ownership and a loss of influence in the luxury watch market.

Revival and legacy

Although it has not regained the same level of prominence it had in its golden years, Universal Genève continues to be valued by collectors and enthusiasts of classic watchmaking. Its vintage models, especially the Compax and Tri-Compax chronographs, are highly appreciated for their design and mechanical complexity.

Today, Universal Genève represents a brand with a legacy of innovation and sophistication in watchmaking, recognized for its contributions to the history of chronographs and for its timeless elegance in design.
