The Universal Genève Tri-Compax watch is an iconic piece of Swiss watchmaking history. Introduced in the 1940s, it featured three complications: a chronograph, complete calendar, and moon phase. Praised for its elegant design and exceptional functionality, the Tri-Compax became a favorite among watch enthusiasts and influential figures, including musicians like Eric Clapton, who notably wore one, elevating its desirability.
The ‘Evil Clapton’ is a variant of the Universal Genève chronograph famously worn by Eric Clapton, known as the ‘reverse panda’ version due to its black ‘SWISS T’ dial.
