Universal Genève, a name synonymous with innovation in the world of horology, traces its roots back to 1894. This Swiss manufacturer earned a stellar reputation for its in-house chronograph production and groundbreaking technological advancements. Among its many iconic creations, the Polerouter stands out as a testament to Universal Genève's ingenuity and design prowess. Conceived in collaboration with Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS), the Polerouter was designed to withstand the magnetic fields encountered during polar flights, marking a pivotal moment in aviation history and solidifying Universal Genève's legacy as a pioneer in precision timekeeping. Originally designed by the now legendary Gérald Genta, this gorgeous piece serves as the start of Genta's design timeline.
