Universal Geneve holds a special place within the hearts of many vintage collectors, and while the brand may be less famous than some heritage marques in this industry, its archives offer just as much intrigue and excitement as any of the biggest names in Swiss watches. The Universal Geneve Compax series of chronographs were very popular during the golden era of the mechanical wristwatch, and surviving examples can be found in a wide range of different styles and configurations. In our latest episode of What Is On My Wrist, Craft + Tailored’s CEO Cameron Barr shines the spotlight on a 1960s Universal Geneve Compax “Evil Nina” ref. 885103/01 and explains how this particular model got its unique nickname, and what makes these vintage Universal Geneve chronographs so special.
