Zenith watches take inspiration from a wide range of fields. Like the classic Swiss Luxury Watch Makers, Zenith watch designs and features are inspired by the Aviation industry and from those traditional designs that remain a favourite of so many watch collectors.

The company was founded by Georges Favre-Jacot, a man who revolutionised the watch making industry. Having started out as many at the time did, as an apprentice, he would later become the man responsible for uniting all watchmaking professions and as such developed the concept of manufacturing. In 1899, the company released its first pocket chronograph and in 1900 the founder won a gold medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition, cementing his place among the best. By 1925, the company passed the 1000 employee mark and since then Zenith has shown no sign of slowing down.
