Favre-Leuba

Favre-Leuba is a Swiss luxury wristwatch manufacturer headquartered in Grenchen, Switzerland, and formerly a pioneer in watch design, manufacturing and distribution. The brand was established in 1737, following the registration of Abraham Favre as a watchmaker. One of his descendants, Henry-Augustus Favre, collaborated with Auguste Leuba, which led to the creation of the brand name Favre-Leuba in 1815, but the company's name was sold in 1985 due to the ongoing quartz crisis, which made manufacturing watches more difficult.
