Universal Genève has unveiled a new, dedicated website, where fans can preview the brand’s identity and access the latest news.
Universal Genève’s revival is cause for celebration among many watch connoisseurs. Renowned for its mythical models and in-house micro-rotor and precision chronograph movements, Universal Genève has long been popular with collectors. Several iconic models are revered, including the Polerouter, the Compax, and the Tri-Compax. Other legendary Universal Genève models include the Aero-Compax, the Space-Compax, the A. Cairelli Split Seconds, the Cabriolet, the Compur Colonial, and the Disco Volante.
“There is a lot to look forward to, and this is just the start of a significant journey.”
Georges Kern, CEO, Universal Genève
Several models are among collector favorites and known by the names of celebrities who famously wore them. Collectors nicknamed a 1960s Compax “the Nina” for the Finnish model Nina Rindt, the wife of Jochen Rindt, the German Formula 1 driver who competed under the Austrian flag, as well as a Tri-Compax of the same era after the legendary guitarist Eric Clapton.
A series of pre-launch events and timepiece releases are planned to showcase the rich heritage and innovative designs that have shaped Universal Genève’s legacy. This November, Universal Genève will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the legendary Polerouter watch with Scandinavian carrier SAS, which commissioned the original timepiece released in 1954. Currently, the first new releases from Universal Genève are scheduled for the autumn of 2026.
