At the Zenith of Luxury

From their classic designs to their innovative advancements, these watches have been a symbol of refined sophistication for decades. Whether you're looking for an everyday dress watch or a special piece for your collection, Zenith will always provide you with a stylish yet timeless piece.

Of course, everything we said above could, for the most part, also be said about the other big name luxury watch brands. So what is it, exactly, that sets Zenith watches apart in such a spectacular way? Or, in other words, why are we so in love with Zenith?

Let's explore.

The Origins of Zenith

Zenith was founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot, a 22 year old watchmaker from Switzerland. He opened his own workshop with the intention of making high quality watches that could last for generations. To do this, he used the finest materials and parts available at the time and held each component to precision standards. By doing so, he was able to create watches with unparalleled accuracy and craftsmanship that are still revered today.

The Legacy of Zenith

Zenith watches have been at the forefront of the watchmaking industry for over 150 years. During this time, they have pioneered some of the most significant advancements in the field, such as creating one of the world's first automatic chronographs and the world's thinnest mechanical movement.

These technological breakthroughs have shaped the way watches are designed and manufactured today, and they have allowed the company to create some of the most sophisticated pieces in existence. Zenith has also been instrumental in developing new materials such as ceramics and titanium that are used in the construction of their watches.

Zenith's dedication to excellence and innovation has earned them numerous awards throughout the years, including the Grand Prix at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1900 and the highest award from Swiss watchmaking’s Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH).

The Designs of Zenith

Zenith watches have a wide range of styles, from classic dress watches to sporty chronographs. They pair innovative materials and movements with timeless designs that are as classic today as they were when the company was founded in 1865.

Zenith watches' skeletal dial designs are particularly fascinating. The open-worked dials allow you to clearly see the machinery beneath and appreciate the intricate craftsmanship of each watch. This feature is a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation, as it highlights its expertly manufactured components and allows viewers to observe how their mechanisms work in real time.

The Future of Zenith

Zenith is committed to honoring the brand's legacy while pushing the boundaries of modern watchmaking. They have recently launched a variety of new collections, such as the Pilot and El Primero Stratos series, which blend traditional styling with modern materials and movements for truly unique timepieces.

Furthermore, Zenith is looking toward the future by introducing smartwatch technologies into its traditional mechanical watches. The Zenith Elite Connected is the first ever connected hybrid watch, featuring a mechanical movement and an integrated digital module powered by Google's Wear OS.

Zenith watches truly have something for everyone, from classic dress pieces to sporty chronographs and even smartwatches. By combining their passion for excellence with a dedication to innovation, Zenith has cemented its place as one of the world's leading watchmakers.
