Universal Genève 10406 – Cal. 129, 1946

A watch that speaks of quiet refinement and enduring craftsmanship.

This elegant Universal Genève from 1946 captures the essence of mid-century Swiss watchmaking at its peak. The 34 mm 18k rose gold case wears with understated presence, while the champagne dial, slim leaf-style hands, and applied indices create a perfect balance of simplicity and sophistication.

Powering the watch is the in-house manual Caliber 129 — a beautifully constructed movement from the brand’s golden age. Slim, precise, and highly wearable, it exemplifies Universal Genève’s mastery in mechanical watchmaking.

Timeless in design and spirit, this piece is not just a timekeeper — it’s a wearable chapter in the history of one of Switzerland’s most celebrated maisons.
