1967 Universal Genève White Shadow Automatic 35mm 867102
Here we have a 1967 Universal Genève White Shadow, a masterclass in mid-century minimalism designed by the legendary Gérald Genta. Its 35mm stainless steel "tonneau" case features a beautiful blend of soft curves and thin, integrated-style lugs, with an incredibly slender profile of just 8mm and a compact lug-to-lug length of 38mm. This ultra-thin design was a world-record holder for its time, offering a sleek and understated presence that slides effortlessly under a shirt cuff. On the right side is a small, signed crown that maintains the case’s fluid, aerodynamic lines. A low-profile acrylic crystal protects a crisp, matte white dial that epitomises the "Shadow" collection’s ethos of clarity. It features printed black Roman numeral hour markers and simple, blackened baton hands, providing a stark, high-contrast aesthetic that is both timeless and highly legible. On the reverse, a screw-down case back hides one of the most innovative mechanical achievements of the 20th century. Inside, the automatic Universal Genève Calibre 2-67 features the brand's pioneering micro-rotor technology, which allowed UG to achieve such a slim case height without sacrificing the convenience of self-winding. This movement beats at 19,800 vibrations per hour and is celebrated for its ingenious engineering and space-saving architecture. It comes with its amazing Gay Frères UG bracelet, which fits up to a 7-inch wrist.
