Zenith

History of Zenith

Zenith SA is a Swiss luxury watchmaker. The company was started in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot at the age of 22, in Le Locle in the canton of Neuchâtel.

Zenith was purchased by LVMH in November 1999, becoming one of several brands in its watch and jewellery division. Zenith is one of the few Swiss watch manufacturers that still produce their own movements in-house.
