Zenith

Zenith is one of Switzerland’s most prestigious watch manufacturers, renowned for its long history of innovation, precision timekeeping and exceptional movement production. Founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot in Le Locle, Switzerland, Zenith was among the first watchmakers to bring all stages of watch production under one roof, creating fully integrated manufacture timepieces.

Throughout its history, Zenith has earned a reputation for producing high-quality pocket watches, wristwatches, chronometers and chronograph movements. The brand achieved remarkable success in observatory chronometer competitions, winning thousands of awards for precision and helping establish itself as one of the leading names in Swiss horology.

Among collectors, Zenith is particularly celebrated for its pocket watches, military watches, chronographs and the legendary El Primero movement. Introduced in 1969, the El Primero was one of the world’s first automatic chronograph calibres and remains one of the most important chronograph movements ever produced. Its high-beat design and technical sophistication continue to make it a benchmark in mechanical watchmaking.

Vintage Zenith watches are admired for their quality craftsmanship, reliable in-house movements and historical significance. Collectors actively seek original Zenith pocket watches, military-issued timepieces, chronographs and early wristwatches, along with authentic movements and restoration parts.
