Where Others Stop, We Begin
Many shops won't touch a vintage Universal Genève. We do.
From mid-century chronographs to skeleton dress watches, we keep Universal Genève watches running the way they should. Founded in 1894 and later based in Geneva, Universal Genève became famous for its Compax chronographs and the Polerouter, one of the most admired watches of the 1950s.
Whether your watch needs routine care or a complete restoration, we have you covered. From sourcing parts to taking on repairs others have called impossible, no job is too big or too small.
