Brand new, Swiss Made, Universal Genève Microtor Cabriolet Automatic watch.
Founded in 1894, Universal Genève is one of Switzerland's most prestigious watch manufacturers, celebrated for its innovative designs and mechanical excellence. Throughout its history, the brand has been responsible for numerous horological innovations, including the famous Microtor movement and the world's first patented reversible watch case introduced in 1928.
The Microtor Cabriolet pays tribute to this remarkable heritage. Introduced in 2008, this distinctive timepiece features a unique reversible case system that allows the watch to rotate 180 degrees, protecting the crystal while revealing the mechanical heart of the watch. Combining Art Deco inspiration, contemporary engineering and an in-house Microtor movement, the Cabriolet stands as one of the most original creations in modern Swiss watchmaking.
