Zenith is one of Switzerland's old-guard, historic watchmakersįounded as G.F.J & Cie. Operating under the umbrella of the LVMH Group, Zenith today enjoys broad collector popularity and is most recognized for its role in a legendary watchmaking milestone: the race to develop the first automatic chronograph watches.
