To ulike begrunnelser for samarbeidet med SAS på UGs nettsider. Den siste er nok nærmest sannheten.

Amen. Kunne ikke vært mer enig med deg her. Noe av sjarmen med de eldre UGene, spesielt ovenfornevnte White Shadow, er hvor tynne de er. Etter å ha hatt på disse virker mye annet nytt overdimensjonert og tungt i sammenlikning. Hvis UG virkelig skal gjøre noe eksepsjonelt med denne relanseringen tror jeg nettopp dette kan være veien å gå.

Dagens spørsmål: Vil Urmaker Bjerke begynne å føre Universal Genève? Og vil det være krav om å kjøpe et par Breitling klokker først for å kvalifisere til å kjøpe en Universal Genève?

"We will start most likely around CHF 15,000 for a non-complicated steel watch"

"Regarding production, we can expect synergies with Breitling? Or do you imagine UG as a completely stand-alone company with its own production, its own movements, its own distribution?
Yes. Of course, there will naturally be some overlaps at key retailers. And regarding production, we’ll rely on external partners to support us.
Developing an entirely new and high-end chronograph movement is extremely costly. It would potentially push the price for a stainless-steel chronograph to CHF 25,000 or more. That’s not where we want to position ourselves. Our approach to movements will vary depending on the type, whether it’s a classic automatic, a micro-rotor or a chronograph.
There may be limited synergies with Breitling on some parts, some specific components for a chronograph movement, but the final engines will be very different. However, in the long run, our strategy is for Universal Genève to have a totally independent production capacity."
