The Universal Genève Aero-Compax was inspired by the needs of aviators and professionals who required a precise and highly legible chronograph for use in flight. Introduced in the 1940s, this watch was designed to provide pilots with a practical timing instrument that could handle the demands of aviation, including tracking multiple time zones and flight durations. One of its most distinctive features was the additional sub-dial at 12 o’clock, which functioned as a secondary timekeeping register, allowing users to set a reference time for coordination during missions. The inspiration behind the Aero-Compax stemmed from the growing importance of aviation and military operations, where reliable timekeeping was critical. Its blend of functionality, robustness, and elegant Swiss craftsmanship made it a favored tool among pilots and a highly regarded collector’s piece today.

The Legacy of Universal Genève: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Universal Genève, originally founded as Universal Watch in 1894 by Numa Descombes and Ulysse Perret in Le Locle, Switzerland, has been a significant name in the watchmaking industry. The company initially focused on producing complete watches with in-house movements. After Descombes’ untimely death in 1897, Perret partnered with Louis Berthoud, relocating the company to Geneva in 1919. Universal Genève gained recognition for introducing the first-ever chronograph wristwatch in 1917 and continued to innovate with models like the Compax series.
Today, the brand is esteemed for its heritage and contributions to horological advancements.

Heartfelt Testimonials on Watch Repair
I found Times Ticking on the internet. The last time I had a watch repaired locally it cost more than the watch did new. I got it back just like new 2 weeks later and 2,000 miles away. HIGHLY recommended. Times Ticking was prompt, inexpensive, and even phoned when they got my watch and told me in advance what it would cost to repair.
Their service was grade A!!! They're quick and professional; they always kept me updated with status of my watches. Their work is flawless which they stand behind, to me most importantly. They speak to you as if you're an old friend asking for help; in which they're always happy to do. Times Ticking; a place where you can ask an old friend for help.
I cannot speak to the local facilities or sales staff. I am an internet customer who took a chance and sent my prized Accutron watch across the country to folks I do not know and have never met. This was a big decision which took several weeks to discern. I am thrilled with my decision and am planning to send my Dad’s watch in for repair. The difference? This time there is no hesitation whatsoever.
I was thrilled that they were able to repair and clean up a watch that I had inherited from my mother. It looks great and works great. The service was fast. The person who called me about the watch was very friendly and seemed grateful for my business. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will use them again if the need arises. So refreshing to receive such good customer service these days!
I highly recommend Times Ticking for watch repair. Jesse & crew know their stuff and even take the time to talk with you. They communicate very friendly/professionally and most of all the prices are more than fair for such craftsmen skills! My opinion: They are like the American Restoration of watches.

The Universal Genève Compax ‘Nina Rindt’ was inspired by the golden era of motorsports and the growing demand for high-precision chronographs in the 1960s. Named after Nina Rindt, the wife of Formula One driver Jochen Rindt, the watch gained fame when she was frequently seen wearing it at racing events, making it a symbol of both elegance and performance. Designed for racing enthusiasts, the Compax featured a highly legible dial with contrasting sub-dials, often referred to as a panda or reverse panda design, allowing drivers to quickly read elapsed times during races. Its robust movement and stylish appeal made it a sought-after timepiece among professionals and collectors, cementing its legacy as one of Universal Genève’s most iconic chronographs.

The Universal Genève Golden Shadow was inspired by the pursuit of creating one of the thinnest automatic watches of its time while maintaining elegance and technical innovation. Introduced in 1965, it was part of the Shadow series, which featured the Caliber 66 micro-rotor movement, allowing for an ultra-slim profile without sacrificing automatic winding capability. The design was influenced by the era’s growing appreciation for sleek, minimalist aesthetics and the desire for a luxury dress watch that balanced sophistication with mechanical ingenuity. By integrating a gold case and an exceptionally thin movement, Universal Genève crafted a watch that appealed to those who valued both refined style and advanced watchmaking. The Golden Shadow remains a testament to the brand’s dedication to technical excellence and timeless design.

The Universal Genève Polerouter was inspired by the need for a durable and highly accurate watch for Scandinavian Airlines System pilots navigating the newly established polar routes in the early 1950s. These flights, which passed over the North Pole to shorten travel times between Europe and North America, exposed instruments to intense magnetic fields and extreme conditions. To address this challenge, Universal Genève collaborated with Gérald Genta, a young but visionary designer who would later become legendary in the watch industry. The Polerouter featured an anti-magnetic movement and a robust design to withstand these demanding flights. Its sleek, modern aesthetics and innovative micro-rotor automatic movement not only made it a practical tool for pilots but also a stylish timepiece for the public, securing its place as one of Universal Genève’s most iconic watches.

The Universal Genève Tri-Compax was inspired by the pursuit of creating a highly functional yet elegantly designed chronograph that combined multiple complications into a single timepiece.

It featured a chronograph function along with a full calendar and moon phase display, making it one of the most advanced watches of its time. The inspiration came from the growing demand for multi-functional wristwatches that could serve as both a practical tool and a refined accessory. Its sophisticated design and mechanical complexity positioned it as a benchmark for high-end Swiss watchmaking, ensuring its place among Universal Genève’s most revered models.
