The two creators of Universal Geneva, Numa Emile Descombes and Ulysse Georges Perret, are pure strain locals.
January 1894 Our two Loclois friends founded the Universal Watch Manufacture.
From their beginnings at Locle, the creation of innovative parts is already at the center of concerns.
That same year 1894 the idea was already to file a patent for a watch with 24 hours.
Numa Emile Descombes died in 1897, all projects and patents were entrusted to Ulysse Perret and Louis Edouard Berthoud.
