Universal Geneve Aero Compax - History & Design

[@kojiattwood]

UG (along with Angelus) is one of those watch makers that I wish a true enthusiast would buy as a company and restore to their former glory. I have a JLC chrono from 1940 that's fitted with a UG 281 movement, and it's absolutely wonderful. Great video!

It also makes me really sad to see what has become of this historic company. I just don't understand how you can let a brand just decay like this. However, much thanks for your kind feedback.

Thank you Felix for yet another fun, informative, and insightful video. And what a gorgeous example of vintage U.G..

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Thank you so much ,good to hear you enjoyed it!

What a magnificent informational display design. I think that pre-CAD design, particularly in the 1940s, was far superior in terms of combining utility and artistry.

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Couldn’t agree more, the 1940s speak a very unique and special design language.

UG is my favorite watch brand by far along with JLC

hi can u make a review of Girard-Perregaux history... THANK

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Until now, we have never bought a Girard perregaux and therefore no video is possible. But if that should change we will of course make one! Cheers

[@diaaezzat5573]

How much?

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

It’s listed on our website. www.goldammer.me

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

Apparently it found a new home... It's a great example you won't find many in that good of a condition.

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Yes, finally! I guess his new owner will love it!

[@Toaster_luvin]

Most beautiful watch under 100k

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Under 15k 😄🤝

I’m looking at a universal Genève compax that does not have compax written on the dial and has only one blue chronograph hand and it has a red outline of the milliseconds. Can you help me identify this watch? I would like to know more about it. I found one that looks similar that was described as to be from the Brazilian air force. Do all universal Genève have the same amount of blue hands? I love your video’s btw. You inspired me with the love of vintage watches. But I have so much to learn now. Thanks in advance. 😊

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Thanks man! Unfortunately no idea as well..

[@Ruby_Sterling]

UG must have watched this and updated its website

[@GoldammerVintageWatches]

Agreed 🤣
