When it comes to watches, most watch collectors go for those which are manufactured by the Swiss. Given Switzerland's history in relation to watchmaking, it is no wonder they prefer Swiss brands over others. Of course, it does not necessarily mean that French, German, and Italian brands are something to sneeze at. It only shows that watches made by Swiss companies are generally regarded to be of superior quality and craftsmanship.

Having said that, watch collectors are sure to recognize the brand Favre-Leuba. It is, after all, a Swiss watch manufacturer with almost 300 years to its name.
Abraham Favre first learned the ins and outs of watchmaking back in 1718. It took a while but he officially established his own watchmaking company in 1737. One of the benchmarks of the company was its affiliation with Jacques-Frédéric Hourriet, the father of Swiss chronometry. This collaboration led to watches of impeccable design and notable innovation. The company enjoyed an even bigger success when Favre welcomed the Leubas, a renowned family of watchmakers. The partnership resulted to international recognition having opened shops in United States, Bahrain, Chile, India, Lebanon and Singapore.
By the 1960s, Favre-Leuba was releasing about 650,000 watches per year. The brand, at that time, was at its pinnacle. Bivouac was introduced in 1962 as a watch perfect for mountaineers with its altimeter and aneroid barometer. Only four years after, Favre-Leuba created Bathy, the first watch for divers with mechanical depth gauge and a mechanism indicating the dive-time.
After its golden years, Favre-Leuba experienced a dark age. For some time, ownership of the company changed hands and not all of the owners were interested in returning the brand to its previous glory. It was not until 2006, when Clément Brunet-Moret re-launched the brand, that watch collectors could expect the same greatness from Favre-Leuba. The current CEO is determined to relive the brand's distinguished past by releasing previous watches with timely innovations and by limiting the production to less than 2,000 per year. Through this the brand becomes exclusive, making it more appealing to collectors.
