Few names in watchmaking carry the quiet reverence of Universal Genève. Long admired by collectors for icons such as the Polerouter, Compax, and Cabriolet, the Maison returns with renewed purpose, reintroducing its celebrated philosophy of Le Couturier de la Montre where technical mastery meets artistic elegance. Rooted in heritage yet designed for today, this new chapter blends refined aesthetics, innovative movements, and a fresh vision of modern horology. It is not simply a comeback, but the revival of one of watchmaking’s most cultured names.
The Cabriolet
The Cabriolet by Universal Genève makes a dramatic return, reviving one of the Maison’s most distinctive Art Deco creations first introduced in 1933. Defined by its ingenious reversible case, the design transforms a functional mechanism into a refined expression of style, allowing the watch to reveal either its dial or decorative reverse side. Housed in a sleek 24.2 mm rectangular case and powered by the manual wind UG-111 calibre with a 72 hour power reserve, it blends historic elegance with modern engineering. Graphic lacquered dials, precious metal bracelets, and bespoke personalization options make the Cabriolet a true collector’s statement.
The Compax
The Compax by Universal Genève returns as a refined revival of one of the Maison’s most celebrated chronographs, forever linked to 1960s style icon Nina Rindt. Housed in a 39.5mm case, the new model preserves its signature panda dial aesthetics, tachymeter bezel, and sporty elegance while introducing the in house UG-200 calibre with micro rotor technology and a 72 hour power reserve. Crafted in steel or 18k rose gold, it balances vintage charisma with modern precision. A timeless chronograph reborn for a new generation of collectors.
Couture and Signature Timepieces
The Couture Creations and Signature Timepieces by Universal Genève marks a striking new chapter for the Maison, where heritage is reinterpreted through the lens of high design and refined craftsmanship. The Couture Creations blur the line between jewellery and horology, transforming timepieces into singular works of art through gemstones, precious materials, and sculptural forms. Alongside them, the Signature editions revive historic icons such as the Dioramic and Disco Volante with contemporary materials and manufacture movements. Together, the collection reaffirms Universal Genève’s enduring identity as Le Couturier de la Montre, where watchmaking meets couture elegance.
The Disco Mini
The Disco Mini by Universal Genève marks a playful yet sophisticated return to women’s watchmaking, blending jewellery codes with everyday practicality. Offered in a refined 28mm case, the model features a luminous mother of pearl dial, hidden crown, and interchangeable bangle or strap system that transforms the watch to suit any mood or occasion. Versions in rose gold with a Clou de Paris bezel or white gold set with diamonds bring a couture sensibility to the wrist. Elegant, versatile, and distinctly feminine, the Disco Mini feels poised to become a modern icon.
The Polerouter
The Polerouter by Universal Genève returns as a masterful revival of one of watchmaking’s most iconic designs, originally conceived in 1954 by a young Gérald Genta. Instantly recognizable by its crosshair dial, twisted lugs, and sculpted outer ring, the new generation remains faithful to the original while introducing the ultra slim UG-110 micro rotor calibre with a 72 hour power reserve. Available in 39 mm and 37 mm sizes, it blends mid century elegance with modern refinement. A true collector’s classic, reimagined for today.
