Crafted in 18k rose gold, this watch is a testament to Universal Genève’s commitment to excellence and their pioneering spirit in the world of watchmaking. This particular model, believed to be a prototype from the Baselworld show in 1944, is an extraordinary find for collectors and enthusiasts. The Universal Genève Tri-Compax is renowned for its intricate complications, featuring a triple calendar and moonphase. The dial displays the day of the month, day of the week, and month, providing comprehensive calendar functionality. The moonphase indicator adds a touch of astronomical elegance, enhancing both the watch’s aesthetic appeal and its technical sophistication. This watch boasts several unique design elements that suggest it may have been a prototype used during the 1944 Baselworld show when the Tri-Compax model was first introduced. The deep engraving of “Universal Genève” on the back, along with the distinctive font used, and the extremely rare faceted lugs on the case, all point to its special status. These features not only enhance the watch’s rarity but also its historical significance. The watch is housed in an exquisite 18k rose gold case, which adds a touch of luxury and sophistication. The faceted lugs are particularly rare and distinctive, providing a unique design element that sets this watch apart from other models. The case, with its polished surfaces and refined detailing, reflects Universal Genève’s dedication to quality craftsmanship. At the heart of this Tri-Compax is the Universal Genève Caliber 481, a manual winding chronograph movement celebrated for its precision and reliability. The Caliber 481 powers the watch’s chronograph, triple calendar, and moonphase functions, ensuring accurate timekeeping and smooth operation. This movement underscores the watch’s practical functionality and technical prowess. The Universal Genève Tri-Compax made its debut at the Baselworld fair from April 22nd to May 2nd, 1944, marking the company’s 50th anniversary of continuous production. The introduction of the Tri-Compax, featuring a triple calendar and moonphase, quickly propelled it to fame as Universal Genève’s best-selling watch. The model’s prestige was further cemented when a Tri-Compax was presented to US President Harry Truman during the 1945 Potsdam Conference, highlighting its significance and desirability. For collectors, the vintage Universal Genève Tri-Compax in 18k rose gold is a highly desirable piece due to its historical significance, unique design, and exceptional craftsmanship. Its association with the 1944 Baselworld show, along with the prototype characteristics, makes it a standout item in any collection. The watch’s excellent condition and original features further enhance its appeal, ensuring it remains a valuable addition to any horological repertoire. 35mm.

Provenance:The personal collection of the former owners of Marine Instruments Limited, Falmouth, Cornwall. The chronometer making firm Thomas Mercer of St. Albans was established by Thomas Mercer (1822-60) at North Road, London in 1858 before moving to 45 Spencer Street, Clerkenwell in 1860. Mercer became an active member of the British Horological Institute (established in 1858) where he lectured on the need to modernise the industry and served as honorary treasurer from 1875-95. After occupying several addresses in Clerkenwell Mercer relocated the core of the business to St. Albans in 1874 setting up a factory behind his house at 14-15 Prospect Road. Although the bulk of the businesses work was undertaken in St. Albans Mercer personally made weekly trips to Clerkenwell to deliver/collect parts finished by specialist outworkers as well as visit the Horological Institute. In order to maintain a presence in London Thomas Mercer opened an outlet 18 Westmoreland Road, City Road in 1890. Succuss at the Greenwich trials was also always considered important to Mercer who entered instruments every year; he was placed second in 1881 and his son, Frank, came first in 1911. In 1900 Thomas Mercer accepted an invitation to judge at the Universal Exhibition in Paris but unfortunately caught a cold on the ferry crossing and died soon after his return. The business was subsequently continued by his successors becoming of the most prolific suppliers of chronometers and other timepiece for industrial, maritime and domestic purposes and continued trading in St Albans until 1984. Condition Report: Timepiece is in good original working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The movement retains its original finish albeit with noticeable patchy discolouration/oxidation in areas. The dial has some patchy oxidation/wear otherwise is in good original condition. The bowl and gimbals are in good original condition retaining old albeit showing degradation/wear mostly to the bowl. The box is in good original relatively clean condition with faults limited to relatively minor surface scratches, wear and a few light bumps and scuffs. The lining to the guard box is in good condition, the exterior has a few light surface scratches and is lacking its leather strap handle.Instrument is complete with its typsy winding key.
