Universal Genève for Cartier 'Ellipse'

While Universal Genève may be most famed for its Compax chronographs and the Polerouter, its svelte dress watches  and more casual wearers are equally compelling. Throughout the latter half of the 20th century, UG designed simple, time-only watches alongside its more complicated brethren that played with shape, color, and design in interesting and novel ways. This elegant 18K yellow gold UG dress watch is a perfectly example of the Maison's ability to create perfectly balanced timepieces which  are both striking and simple. Its softly silvered dial is accentuated by clean 'Roman' numerals, beautiful 'pencil' hands, and that legendary name. Instead of your conventional tank or round watch shape, here UG has opted for a ellipse-style cushion. Plus, this piece features a Cartier signature! A collaboration between two of the greatest names in the industry.  A study in chic simplicity - this yellow gold dress piece is sure to impress anyone who catches a glimpse as it peeks out from under the cuff of a finely tailored sleeve.
