Below is an aggregation all of the Universal Geneve 885103/02 (aka “Nina Rindt”) pieces I have located. If you find others, please contact me with a link and/or images and serial number if available. I am not including the “Evil Nina” (885103/01) in this serial number project.
This project is limited in number of serials that are available, as many pieces are posted online without caseback images or serial number provided. I have seen reference to comments that these serials were easily worn off, but just as often it appears from images that the caseback has been polished completely, or a non-original caseback is used.
I am only listing the “second register hand design” just to keep the table relatively manageable (fewer columns). The other two register hands should both be the same design as the second register hand. This can be confirmed by clicking on any row, which brings up full detail for the watch selected.
Universal Geneve 885103/02 (aka “Nina Rindt”) serial numbers: 2351729 – 2569859.
There are a number of pieces that are 2569xxx, with the last 3 digits unknown.
I am setting aside, for the moment, comments on the range for the 855105/02 (Pulsations dial), including a sale at Phillips of a 3.7m serial.
This range of serial numbers, if you believe the Universal Geneve production dates from Universal Watch Geneve by Pietro Sala, corresponds to ~1964 – 1967.
In the table below, each row is intended to be unique, though given serial numbers are often not shown, the same watch may appear multiple times. I do my best to use visual cues to pair the same watch posted at different times and locations. When the serial number can’t be established, I give the timepiece a unique ID (based on any part of the serial that is known, if any, plus a related date posted).
If you see any duplicates, errors, have serial numbers to include, or know of other Ninas to add, please drop me a note.
Caveats:
Description of pieces are generally based upon public images/video. For some detail, we do not have images and have to rely on text descriptions from the individual posting the timepiece. Some elements are often difficult to determine from pictures, including color of hands. For example, whether the chrono seconds hand is black or blue, and crown logo, rounded or pointed. If I have a 50-50 guess, I leave the detail as “unknown.”
