Zenith Watches, a name synonymous with innovation and precision, has carved its niche in the horological world since its inception in 1865. Founded by Georges Favre-Jacot in Le Locle, Switzerland, Zenith quickly distinguished itself through the quality and accuracy of its timepieces. The brand's commitment to excellence was evident when it introduced the El Primero in 1969, the world's first integrated automatic chronograph movement that boasted an unprecedented frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour.
