A BIT OF TRIVA

 Zenith is a Swiss luxury watchmaker. The company was started in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot in Le-Locle in the canton of Neuchatel 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 could the highest quality be achieved. This obsession with precision, as well as this constant quest for technical innovation, has been duly rewarded; the Manufacture has been awarded over 2330 chronometry prizes, making it the most titled brand in the field of precision. Zenith was purchased by LVMH in November 1999, becoming one of several brands in its watch division.
