THE OFFICIAL WATCH BUYER'S GUIDE - Elite Traveler

Zenith
at the age of 22, watchmaker Georges favre-Jacot created what so many watch companies to this day only aspire to—an authentic manufacture.
at that point, in 1865, favre-Jacot united all the artisan watchmakers he worked with together under one roof, providing them with heat and light,
allowing them thus to dedicate themselves entirely to the design of their timepieces. now a division of lVmH, Zenith today, under the guidance
of Jean-frederic dufour, continues to produce a wealth of complicated timepieces for men and women, and many display a subtle star as their
motif—Zenith’s celestial emblem.
