What is a Polerouter watch?
1 Answer
A Polerouter watch is a timepiece designed by Universal Genève. The Swiss watchmaker released the watch in 1954. Legendary designer Gerald Genta created the design. Its fluted chapter ring and oversize 12 o'clock marker set it apart from other mid-century modern pieces. Shop a range of Universal Genève Polerouter watches on 1stDibs.
