Measuring only around 2.45 mm in height, the calibre was well suited to the elegant, low-profile watches for which Universal Genève became known during this period. It features 17 jewels and runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;
