ZENITH: THE HEART OF WATCHMAKING
Founded in 1865 in Le Locle, Switzerland, ZENITH has been at the forefront of Swiss watchmaking for over 160 years. A true pioneer, it became the first integrated Swiss manufacture, designing and producing its own movements entirely in-house. In 1969, ZENITH made history with the El Primero, the world’s first high-frequency automatic chronograph calibre.
Its iconic collections reflect this legacy: CHRONOMASTER for chronographic precision, DEFY for bold innovation, and PILOT for its strong aviation heritage. With an unmatched 2,333 chronometry prizes, ZENITH’s commitment to excellence is undeniable.
From Blériot’s Channel crossing to Felix Baumgartner’s record-breaking space jump, ZENITH has accompanied those who dare to dream big. More than a watchmaker, it empowers pioneers and redefines the future of Swiss watchmaking—from Le Locle to the world.
