Perhaps I'm alone in thinking this way, but I'm really hoping the brand does NOT get re-launched. The beautiful, artistic and truly imaginative timepieces they created in the 1930s-1960s deserve their place among the all-time vintage watch greats. But I worry that without the brilliantly creative minds of those days, any "heritage" releases would likely diminish the brand's legacy and represent little more than ill-conceived and poorly executed efforts to restore long-lost glory. At the risk of waxing too poetic, I think part of the true magic of UG is that it was meteor flaming through the skies for a period of time, before it burned out from entry into the (quartz...) atmosphere. UG collectors have a rare chance to own some of the fragments and horological "dust" Universal Geneve scattered along the way, and for that I am grateful - and content.
Just my two cents.
