UG (along with Angelus) is one of those watch makers that I wish a true enthusiast would buy as a company and restore to their former glory. I have a JLC chrono from 1940 that's fitted with a UG 281 movement, and it's absolutely wonderful. Great video!

What a magnificent informational display design. I think that pre-CAD design, particularly in the 1940s, was far superior in terms of combining utility and artistry.
