    Universal Genève Unisonic 'Tiffany & Co.' - (Ref. 40993340 AS12422) Product Details

    Overall Condition: Great condition overall. Case is sharp, showing only light signs of wear consistent with age. Dial and handset are in great condition.

    By now, Universal Genève should be well known in the watch collecting community.

    The brand attained a reputation in its heyday for well-constructed, aesthetically-appealing designs, typified in the Compax and Polerouter models. Yet even with its commitment to aesthetic excellence, Universal Genève was no stranger to mechanical innovation.

    Bulova's introduction of the Accutron 218 movement in 1965 intrigued and impressed brands and consumers alike, and Universal Genève sought to implement this new technology a decade before the Quartz Revolution changed the watchmaking game forever. The Unisonic was the result — a stunning and innovative timepiece that merged UG's attentive Swiss design language with future-forward American movement, a marriage artfully denoted by the unique UG/Accutron logo printed on the watch's dial. (Cool, right?)

    This particular Unisonic from the 1960s-1970s is crisp and clean — a prime example of the model. Housed in a highly wearable, brushed solid 18K yellow gold case, it features an acrylic crystal, a signed crown, and a clean, champagne tritium dial with printed Roman numerals, a day-date display, and a matching stick handset. It has developed a lovely warm patina with age, and has the quality of the watch you feel you've always owned. In outstanding overall condition and powered by an Accutron movement, it comes matched one of our Analog:Shift Saffiano straps.

    But wait — there's more. In addition to the Accutron logo and the Universal Genève wordmark, you'll likely have noticed yet another wordmark: That's right — this particular Unisonic was retailed by none other than Tiffany & Co., making it the type of rare, double-signed beauty that drives collectors absolutely mad.

    Coupling the elegance of Universal Genève with true technological innovation — plus a co-sign from an icon in Jewelry — this is a piece of horological history, a relic from that transitional period between the introduction of the tuning fork and the Quartz Revolution.
