Announcements: You Can Now Reserve The New Watches From Universal Genève Right Here

If there’s one brand that remains near and dear to the heart of Hodinkee, it’s Universal Genève. In some ways, my own love of watches may not have flourished the way it did without the incredibly broad range of designs and concepts from Universal in that period. Simple chronographs, calendar chronographs, calendar watches, dress watches, oversized Aviator watches, and even convertible watches were all part of the Universal story. It just did SO many things back then, and when it was announced that the House of Brands (the parent company of Breitling, and now Gallet and Universal) would be re-launching it in full force, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. And I think it’s fair to say that many felt that way.
