Zenith SA

Zenith SA is a Swiss luxury watchmaker. The company was founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot in Le Locle in the canton of Neuchâtel and is one of the oldest continuously operating watchmakers. Favre-Jacot invented the concept of ‘in-house’ movements, believing that only through control of the entire watchmaking process, perfection could be achieved. Zenith was purchased by LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) in November 1999, becoming one of several brands in its watch and jewellery division which includes TAG Heuer and Hublot.
