Universal Genève | Collector Portrait - Luca Mignini

Entrepreneur and former COO of the Campbell Soup Company, Luca Mignini’s path to collecting Universal Genève chronographs wasn’t one of deliberate pursuit but rather a series of unexpected discoveries. The first spark? A spontaneous stroll through a Tokyo market nearly 20 years ago, where a vintage Tri-Compax caught his eye and forever altered his collecting trajectory. Today, as one of Universal Genève’s most devoted collectors, Mignini’s focus remains firmly on the chronographs and complications that exemplify the artistry and engineering of the brand’s golden age.
