Universal Genève Tri Compax. Some pictures.
Another vintage Chronograph I could carry an autopsy on, with a few pictures. Nice case, superb dial, great movement. These Chrono Calendars are a classic in a collection. Snap back case, showing the ref number ( 22 279 ) and the serial number dating it c...
Absolutely. And I confirm!
My first encounters with this UG were with Italians! Best, Amico. Nicolas
sometimes we can observe interesting ...
changes/development in the collectors market. The last two years in germany (and i think also generelly in europe) these watches are much more searched from collectors as in the years before. There is a collector szene, that is perhabs (in my opinion) a l...
Totally agree. Funny what you write about Heuer. I noticed the same thing.
U.G is, indeed, very sought after, lastly. And I must say that there are some very cool models. I would not build a colletion of UGs, but I can foresee three or four with me... ;) Best, Nicolas
Eberhard
also agree on this observaton, another brand where I think you can see this even more strongly is Eberhard - a while back really a 'pure' Italian brand (collector scene), now more and more showing up (see auctions) with higher profile in general.
Eberhard is top, too. Their Rattrapante is a grail!
While some other pièces are top cool, such as the Scientigraph, for example. A kind of Railmaster. Best, Nicolas
and the Scafograf of course
especially the Scafograf 100 and 200. But you are right, the Scientifigraf is very cool. Great dial and Rattrapantes at the recent auctions were stunning...but then they also made a 'stunning' hammer
Very nice Mr Nicolas.......
are the hands original to this model? I love them:) A+ Francois
I knew how to make you going out of the wood. ;)
Yes, to me, they are original. Your cup of Camomille, my friend? Best, Nicolas
LOL! Great.......
This time I cannot escape, I'll visit "Nicolas" for a nice Armagnac! I mean, the other Nicolas:) Hold on! I thought it was Chartreuse........but you're right Armagnac goes better with cigars.... A+ Francois
Yes, my friend. When it comes to fine things in life, we should pay more attention to the
Combinations. ;) Best, Nicolas
Beautiful watch dear Nicolas, and your wonderful pictures make...
... justice to the beauty of this fine timepiece. This brand is very well regarded here in my Country. It is said among local collectors, that Presidente Juan Peron (married to Evita) owned one Tri Compax which he treasured so much, before the Revolution ...
Is there only one nice watch in the world you don't own, Amigo Dexter?
Does your wife know all? Ja Ja Ja... Un abrazo, Abel. Nicolas
just wow..
i never really appreciated the meaning of grail until i had spent over a year watching out for one of these in one of the 37mm case sizes. another couple of years later and i regrettably still dont have one either, i am still enjoying the hunt though. thi...
