Founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot, Zenith has a rich history in the manufacture of Swiss timepieces by producing watches which have become icons. The most notable achievement was the creation of the first integrated automatic chronograph movement - the Zenith El primero - which still to this day is the most precise series-made calibre. Zenith's automatic Elite was launched in 1994 and is often cited as one of the movements that reinvigorated the mechanical watch market. Reliable, accurate and wafer thin, it's now been housed in this elegant sliver of a watch.
