Dear Universal lovers, I had the opportunity to use a secret time travel machine from the French government ... Back in 1949, one of the first things I did was to go to Universal Geneve shop, Place Vendôme, Paris. A lot of nice pieces ... After some tips from @Diabolik and @Dre, I bought this piece, a 1949 37mm 18k gold Tri Compax, réf 12552. Click for full size Hope you enjoy the pics !! (Next time, please let me know if you want me to bring a special ref. to you !)
Nice story And an incredibly beautiful watch. Enjoy! I would say dibs if it was within my price range .
Tossing around a Spain/Southern France road trip with friends last Saturday. I causally mentioned that I miss Paris and how bout hanging out for a week afterword's...wife says "Why? So you can go watch shopping all week? NO MORE WATCHES!" ... Nice pick up. Pristine is too mild a word.
oh blast. was the UG store really at Place Vendome?? So much horological significance. And that is a true beauty. Dibs!!!
