Favre-Leuba is one of the oldest Swiss watchmakers, founded by Abraham Favre in Le Locle around 1737, known for pioneering technical wristwatches like the Bivouac (first with altimeter) and Bathy (depth gauge) in the 1960s, establishing strong markets in India, and experiencing ownership changes, most recently being acquired by Silvercity Brands AG in 2023 with relaunches in 2024 and 2025, balancing its rich heritage with modern designs.
