Here's another one to feed that nice thread

For various reasons, and although I can admire them from afar, I have never been especially drawn to chronographs and don't expect I ever will be. That said, if faced with a piece like this one, I think I would seriously reconsider/think twice. What a beauty. This piece alone might lead me to pick up the Sala book, if only to bring me up to rudimentary speed on the basic UG chronograph terminology! Having read enough of these posts, i certainly don't envy the UG chronograph collecter - I don't think I could ever make sense of the fine and seemingly endless subtleties and variations: Polerouter three handers drive me crazy enough!

As an aside, I am curious as to who the intended buyer was originally for these sorts of chronograph pieces. They don't strike me as especially populist. Perhaps this will be addressed in Sala. Thank you for sparking the appetite and thanks to all of you for the riveting examples. While I shall likely remain a chronograph stranger, I will always find the overall subject highly fascinating and will always read and learn with great interest. Thanks again and thank you for hearing my unsolicited confession.

Wow, wow, wow! @10H10 if I remember properly, you've also shown a binder full of Polerouters?
I say OPEN SESAME, time to open up the cave in the hopes that you will show us the rest please! I'm sure you're hiding a few more.
Well Jonatan, you really tickled me...
Here are the "ready to be weared, except one" Universal Genève (montres à complications, so elegant in french, like the brand...) :



And, here are the U.G. "montres à complications" waiting for my attention (less sexy 🙄!)...



Oh ! Just forgot about this one that I'm wearing :

Wait I just got the "montres a complication" which means there would be another batch of " montres sans complication".

THAT is a collection to be savored. I feel like lighting up a pipe, pouring a glass and clearing and evening or three. Please more pics once you have rested!
