This lady's Universal Geneve Chronograph! Wow!

I've seen a lot of Universal Geneve chronograph's. I've never seen one this small or with this caliber. 25mm!

What caliber is it? I love it.

The auction listing says it's a cailber 289, a 10.5 ligne movement. That's extremely small for a chronograph movement. You're talking 26mm to 27mm in a round case. It's not shown in Ranfft, but I was able to find a very rare square Uni-Compax that uses the same movement:
