History of Zenith Watches
Zenith got its start in Le Locle, which is a municipality in the Canton of Neuchatel, by a man named Georges Favre-Jacot. He was only 22 when the brand was created, and at the time, it was called “Georges Favre-Jacot & Cie.” In 1865, most watches were made by combining various parts that were manufactured in small workshops or by artisans from remote locations in the region. This process was inefficient and put a limit on the precision achieved. Zenith did things differently from the start, manufacturing all components in-house. While pocket-watches were the focus of the company initially, by the early 1900s, the company moved into pendulum clocks and table clocks, and then finally flight and marine chronometers and wristwatches.
