- Narcisse

This attractive skeleton pocket watch was launched around 1937. It was also available as a pendant.

- Mystère

1951

1953

1957

It is a watch with a highly geometric dial where only the tips of the hands are visible, the center being hidden by a black disc. Launched in 1941, it was particularly successful from the 1950s onwards and was produced in multiple versions: square and clip versions in 1951, an automatic version with a mysterious second hand in 1953, jewelry watch versions in 1957, and a version with an octagonal case in 1973.

- President et Royal

1942

1942

These two very similar models are in fact Juvenia's first two automatic, water-resistant watches. They were available in steel and gold.

- Arithmo

1946

1958

1948

This is a watch with a circular slide rule and rotating bezel, launched in 1945. It was available with several types of cases, and there is also a pocket watch version called Mathematic. In 1958, Juvenia launched an automatic version of this model.

- Ephemeris

1950

It is an automatic watch with a full calendar (day, month, date) and moon phases, launched in 1950.

- Cabochons

1952

On this model, launched in 1950, the hour markers are featured on the bezel in the form of cabochons. The men's model was available in both manual and automatic versions.

This model still exists in the Juvenia collection, but curiously under the name Planete.

- Trigone et Planète

1956

These two models, launched in 1955 and 1956 respectively, operate on the same principle. The hands are replaced by discs, either in the form of arrows or discs.

The Planète model was reissued in 2000 with a slightly modified design.

- Sextant

On this remarkable model, launched in 1956, the minute hand is replaced by a compass. Like the Planète model, it was reissued in 2000 with a slightly modified design and a specific steel bracelet. It is still in production today (July 2025).

- Slim

1959

1963

The Slim range, launched in 1957, consists of very thin, minimalist watches. The watches do not have a second hand. They can be manually or automatically wound, and some models feature a date display.
