Brand heritage

Favre-Leuba traces its origins to 1737, when Abraham Favre was registered as a watchmaker in Le Locle, making it one of the oldest Swiss watch brands. The company moved to Geneva in 1896. In the mid-1950s it introduced its own calibres, used in mid-century lines such as the Sea Chief, Sea Raider and the Sea King, a robust everyday watch with a water-resistant case.
