Introducing: Two One-Off Sets Of Three Universal Genève Tribute To Compax Chronographs — “The Nina” Returns
Universal Genève is launching two exclusive sets of three Tribute to Compax chronographs, showcasing a blend of history and modern craftsmanship. Each set honors the iconic "Nina," named after Nina Rindt, the wife of Formula 1 driver Jochen Rindt. These one-off sets feature precious metals, handcrafted Bund straps by Japanese artisan Satoru Hosoi, and the in-house caliber 281 movement, making them a unique offering in the watch market. The dials, crafted using the Grand Feu enamel technique, come in various colors, including panda and reverse panda designs, enhancing the watches’ aesthetic appeal. The watches are available only as complete sets, priced at 135,000 Swiss francs each, exclusive to those who request them. Universal Genève's tribute not only pays homage to a significant figure in motorsports but also represents a revival of the brand’s legacy in watchmaking. The combination of luxurious materials, historical significance, and artisanal craftsmanship positions these timepieces as coveted collector's items, setting the stage for the brand's anticipated full launch in 2026.
