    Founded by Georges Meyer in 1906, UTI is short for UTINAM, a French horology manufacturer that was known for its magnificent pocket watches and railway stopwatches in the early 20th century. The post-WWII days marked UTI’s most prolific period, from luxurious ladies wristwatches, clocks, to bedside and travel alarm clocks, many of the firm’s work are still greatly treasured in today’s vintage market. UTI continued to collaborate with world renown haute joallerie brands, such as Van Cleef & Arpels, till the company was absorbed by Matra in 1984.
