Universal Geneve - Rare "Savoy Knot" Compur

Swiss. This rare Universal Genève Compur two-register chronograph features a manual-wind movement and is accompanied by a period-correct presentation box. This watch was featured in Hodinkee "Bring a Loupe" column on September 6, 2019. This watch holds immense horological rarity. Positioned directly below the central hand stack, where the "COMPUR" signature normally resides, the dial features the rare "Savoy knot" emblem, a symbol of Casa Savoia, strongly indicating an Italian-market watch. This piece represents a scarce and historically intriguing milestone in early Universal Genève watchmaking. Includes an assortment of related photographs.
