ID : EG201141USG Brand : Universal Geneve Model : Solid Yellow Gold UniSonic, Electronic PoleRouter Year : 1967 Condition : Very good Delivery : Watch Type : Quartz Caliber : 1-52 Functions : DateTime (Hour, Minute, Central Second) Diameter : 34mm Case : Yellow Gold Bezel : Yellow Gold Bracelet : Leather with Original Buckle Dial Color : Gold Sunburst Glass : Plexi WHY WE LOVE IT: Made in 1967 (approx) and thus a relevant artefact of the switch to electronic movements by UG -- avantgarde. We are burning for tuning fork movments, yes and there are several reasons but the most important: they are like the Lungfish or the revolt of Romulus & Remus -- they change everything in a snap of time. Never before a wrist watch was of similar accuracy and it was the starting point for the revolution by electronic watches. This one is a very beautiful example, besides this. The solid 18K yellow gold case has sharp edges, appears to be in unpolished and original condition and was made by La-Chaux-De-Fonds based manufacture Favre & Perret, a long term supplier to UG and inside shows a Bulova licensed cal1-52 the same accuracy as it did more than 50 years ago -- serviced and cleaned. The humming of this movement is just as fantastic as the sweeping second hand -- and yes, nothing hums like a solid gold case. UG used the same case-shape (serial number 2'572'XXX) for the late and rare PoleRouter III -- beautiful and the most precise and reliable "PoleRouter", ever.
