Our Take
As fashion trends have evolved in the modern era, pocket watches may have taken a backseat to wristwatches in the modern era, but this ultra-thin example from Universal Genève retains modern lines and a subtle profile that, quite frankly, wouldn’t seem out of place today. The dial layout is magnificently restrained, and the ultra-thin, stainless-steel case, which is free of significant dings or blemishes, is well-proportioned and attractive. Slip it into an inner suit pocket and you have an ultra-cool timepiece that only you know about.
