More than 300 patents in 150 years

The Swiss watch manufacturer Zenith was founded over 150 years ago by the young Georges Favre-Jacot. Since then, the manufacturer has played a pioneering role in the manufacture of complex timepieces. Because the company brought together a wealth of knowledge from the art of watchmaking, Zenith was able to register more than 300 patents. Wristwatches, pocket watches, and on-board instruments were produced by Zenith. The Zenith caliber El Primero, which was released in 1969, became one of the greatest legends in watch history. It impresses with a frequency of an incredible 36,000 semi-oscillations per hour. This caliber was also the world's first integrated chronograph with automatic winding.
