A manual wound wristwatch made by Universal Genève with a black military inspired dial and a precarious symbol underneath the brand logo; a W with a crown on top.

The watch commonly nicknamed the “Wilhelmina”. A theory that became fact.

Omega Genève Grand Sport “Racing Dial” 135.041

This is the Grand Sport. A time only wrist watch that was being sold as a “racing” inspired watch at an affordable price point.

When new items are added to the collection they are introduced through a Showcase.

For this Showcase we have three steel pieces from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s with a very period look.

A brand name that still is being used, has presence in the vintage watch world, but never really got the attention it deserves. And one part in particular. The chronographs made by Alpina in the first half of the 1900’s.

Why? Quality, Rarity and Diversity.

When new items are added to the shop I’d like to introduce them through Showcases. For this Showcase the theme is “April Splits Gold”.
