My Watch Story: A Storied Universal Genève by Alessandro Curcuruto

Alessandro, from Pisa, Italy, received this Universal Genève Uni-Compax from his grandfather, who had received it from his own mother. It was on Alessandro's grandfather's wrist when he immigrated to Argentina, and when he met his wife. It was also on his grandfather's wrist when Alessandro's mother and her sister were born years later. On the day Alessandro was born, his grandfather gave it to his aunt, who eventually gave it to Alessandro when he turned 18. He now lives in Zurich and wears it proudly – and it makes him feel like his family is close to him.

" In a period where there were only one great present in a lifetime " That says it all about all the great stories here.

Lovely story. I have many watches but nothing like the beautiful watch you have from your grandfather. Hopefully you can pass it on to your child in the future.
