UTI
Hector Levy began making clocks and ladies watches in 1905. He sold them out of a house on Rue de Sebastopol in Paris, with a factory in La Chaux de Fonds. By 1907 Georges Meyer took over the firm and the name Utinam was first used. The Meyer, Levy, and Utinam names were used on all manner of clocks and watches. Utinam means "As G-d wills." With the rise of anti-semitism the Utinam (or UTI) label was used exclusively after 1940.
