Inspired by the Polaris, the guide for explorers on Northern skies
Suunto is launching the Suunto Guiding Star, a silver compass pendant for women embracing the outdoors.
A clear Nordic winter night with Polaris steady to the north, the guide for explorers since ancient times, has been the inspiration for the first Suunto jewel. The Suunto Guiding Star is a functional piece of jewelry with clean lines and two faces: on the front is a real compass with Polaris in the north, and on the back stars of the Nordic sky.
This limited edition jewel made of sterling silver was designed by Finnish jewelry designer Lina Simons and crafted in Finland in cooperation between Suunto and Kalevala Jewelry, both founded in Finland in the 1930s.
A pioneer of compasses, Suunto has shown direction in the outdoors since 1936. Besides accuracy and reliability, Suunto products are known for their aesthetic appeal. The Suunto Guiding Star compass pendant is building on this tradition.
“The Suunto Guiding Star is an exciting project for Suunto, where heritage, design, functionality and love for the outdoors merge into a unique piece of jewelry. We hope this jewel will be worn as a symbol of an adventurous spirit.“ says Henrik Palin, business line manager at Suunto.
The Suunto Guiding Star embodies the Nordic relationship to nature and the Finnish tradition of craftsmanship. Made in Finland, the pendant contains a genuine Suunto compass.
