Universal Geneve has relaunched after 30+ years and I’m going to rank some of their new signature pieces.

1. The Cabriolet. Beautiful. Only downside is it reminds me of the Gatsby revival era.
2. The Compax. Cool as hell, love a textile-inspired dial.
3. The Polerouter. Nice but boring, I’m bored.

My wife goes to W&W every year and I am so incredibly jealous. Where else can you see a human size Lange minute repeater?

Thanks for the reminder - also now I know why Geneva hotels have been so expensive for the middle of next week. (I am going for a WMO meeting and staying across the border in France.)

being into watches isn’t about buying watches it’s about looking at pictures on the internet

My first thought with the Cabriolet is Suchet-era Poirot, which is an excellent thing.

I actually love the Cabriolet, but I fear how a rectangular watch would look on my wrist.

I feel like these are all a little overwrought in design but I also wonder if they would look nicer irl

I like the Compax because that colour scheme is fresh but still classy. It reminds me of the colour of the centre court lawn at Wimbledon.

The Cabriolet with a different style choice for the numbers is my dream watch. I just love the compact rectangular face

Agree on number one. Number two is too busy. Number three does the one job a watch has nicely.

I am going to defend the honor of the Polerouter. It is the one Universal Geneve design I have wanted to come back. It looks amazing in a gold case.

Oh wow that art deco aesthetic on the Cabriolet is something. It’s like a flashier JLC but still
Pretty tasteful

The upside is the Dioramic doubles as a coaster. Never get glass stains on your furniture again.
