Universal created a very limited edition of unique pieces of the "Janus Cabriolet" to commemorate the 100th anniversary year of the firm. The present double dialed watch is a unique example in platinum, pink gold and diamonds. It evokes the Roman mythological figure Janus, the double-faced god of gates and doorways.
