While pocket-watches were the focus of the company initially, by the early 1900s, the company moved into pendulum clocks and table clocks, and then finally flight and marine chronometers and wristwatches. Zenith did things differently from the start, manufacturing all components in-house. This process was inefficient and put a limit on the precision achieved. He was only 22 when the brand was created, and at the time, it was called “Georges Favre-Jacot & Cie.” In 1865, most watches were made by combining various parts that were manufactured in small workshops or by artisans from remote locations in the region.
Zenith got its start in Le Locle, which is a municipality in the Canton of Neuchatel, by a man named Georges Favre-Jacot.
