In the year of 1865 in the town of Le Locle, a visionary watchmaker and the founder of Zenith Manufacture, Georges Favre-Jacot had an obsession: to create the most precise and reliable watches of his time. To achieve this, he revolutionized the way watches were made and brought all the watchmaking trades under a single roof. By the early 20th century, Zenith watches had already been sent out from Le Locle around the world and Zenith's destiny was sealed forever; that of chronometric performance and pioneering spirit.

Representing a rare phenomenon in the watch industry, the Manufacture is currently still located in the exact spot where the founder built his first workshop and continues manufacturing the most precise and beautifully exclusive mechanical timepieces.
