Zenith: The Heart of Watchmaking
Founded in 1865 in Le Locle, Switzerland, ZENITH has maintained its position at the forefront of Swiss watchmaking for over 160 years, driven by a pioneering spirit and a relentless pursuit of precision, as evidenced by its status as the first vertically integrated Swiss watch manufacture and its development of the El Primero, the world's first automatic chronograph calibre launched in 1969. ZENITH's collections, including the CHRONOMASTER, DEFY, and PILOT, showcase its mastery of high-precision chronographs, technical innovation, and aviation legacy, respectively, all underpinned by an unparalleled record of 2,333 chronometry prizes, with the calibre 135, having won majority of those prizes, being re-engineered and housed in the new G.F.J collection.
Throughout its history, ZENITH timepieces have accompanied pioneers like Louis Blériot and Felix Baumgartner, reflecting a daring spirit that continues to drive the Maison as it redefines the future of Swiss watchmaking, celebrating excellence, innovation, and purpose, and solidifying its place as the heart of watchmaking from Le Locle to the world.
