Zenith SA
is a Swiss luxury watchmaker.
The company was started 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 could the highest quality be achieved.
Zenith was
purchased by LVMH in November 1999, becoming one of several brands in its watch
and jewellery division, which includes TAG Heuer and Hublot.
Julien Tornare is
president and CEO.
