Favre Leuba

Founded in 1737 in Le Locle, Favre Leuba is the second-oldest Swiss watchmaking brand. With a legendary history spanning nearly three centuries, the maison has been a pioneer in creating mechanical instruments for “Conquering Frontiers.”

Following a global relaunch in 2024, Favre Leuba has entered a new “Renaissance” era. The brand’s contemporary catalog is built on five distinct pillars—Chief, Sea Sky, Deep Raider, and the recently introduced collections Harpoon and 1737, which blend historic design codes with modern mechanical advancement. In 2026, Favre Leuba marked a defining milestone by exhibiting at Watches and Wonders Geneva for the first time ever. 

Headquartered in Grenchen, Switzerland, Favre Leuba remains dedicated to providing exceptional value and Swiss-made precision to a new generation of explorers and watch enthusiasts.
