Universal Geneve - Cal 500 - Ladies Evening Watch
Ladies cocktail/evening watches are often overlooked but every once in a while a nice little number crops up, in this case the cal 500 from Universal. With dimensions of only 12x15mm it is surprising to find such attention to detail being applied to every part, but the cal 500 shares the same exquisite finishing found on much larger and more costly of watches.
This particular watch came to me in non working form due to a broken third wheel pivot, given the sensitive nature of the pivot size it was unsurprising to see it had met such a fate. Whilst waiting for replacement parts from the USA i set to polishing up the casing and removing the scratches, the glass was also re-polished to keep things as original as possible.
Once serviced and completed the watch was given a new strap to finish. Below are some images of the completed watch >
