(minor bumps and normal wear scratches) For the record, Universal Genève produced two Nina Rindt models, named after the wife of a racing champion who tirelessly timed her husband’s races: a “panda” model, ref. 885.103/02, known as the Nina Rindt, and ours, ref. 885.103/01, known as the Evil Nina, featuring a reverse panda dial and a red hand. These two models were produced for only a short time, which is why they are rare. Designed for a man, they were actually worn by a woman.
