CULTURAL HERITAGE

One of Universal Genève’s most emblematic creations, the Polerouter has long been admired for its visual balance and enduring design. The Hardstone editions remain faithful to these defining codes while reconnecting the model to the Maison’s historic mastery of stone marquetry, reinforcing its place within a long-standing watchmaking legacy.

ANOBLISSEMENT

With the Hardstone editions, anoblissement is achieved through the reintroduction of stone marquetry into the Polerouter’s design language. Lapis, tiger’s eye, and bull’s eye dials infuse the iconic crosshair composition with depth, texture, and living character, transforming a historic design through material artistry.
