During the 1700s, Swiss watchmaking was rapidly advancing, with many of today’s well-known brands originating in Le Locle, a small city nestled in the Jura mountains of Switzerland.
Standing at the forefront of the horological Swiss movement was Abraham Favre, who was eventually titled the ‘Master Watchmaker of Le Locle.’ Many generations of the watchmaker's family laboured to take his celebrated legacy forward, together with Auguste Leuba from Buttes in Val-de-Travers - creating a brand that has been conquering frontiers ever since.

SERVICE
Service & Care Your Favre Leuba Watch
From the outset, the founder of Favre Leuba established a network
of watchmaking workshops around the world, tasked with ensuring that all of the brand’s
watches could receive the best possible servicing and maintain their excellent technical
performance and pristine appearance. As a result, there is no limit on how long a Favre
Leuba watch can keep working, being handed down from one generation to the next, and
living several lives.
After a bold relaunch in 2024 and a series of milestone creations in 2025, Favre Leuba is set to make its debut at Watches And Wonders Geneva 2026, held April 14th–20th at Palexpo, marking a significant step in the brand’s renewed journey.
For the first time in its 288-year history, Favre Leuba introduces a fully skeletonized timepiece: the Chief Skeleton.This striking model showcases the brand’s signature cushion-shaped case and a meticulously openworked manufacture movement, developed in collaboration with AMT. Building on the momentum of the brand’s first-ever tourbillon – the Chief Tourbillon – presented earlier this year, the Chief Skeleton marks another major step in Favre Leuba’s ongoing journey.
After the introduction of the Chief Chronograph in 2024, a collection inspired by the Favre Leuba chronograph watches of the 1970s, with cushion-shaped cases, the collection now features two refined dial colors: British Racing Green and Dune. These new variants build on the model’s distinctive design, offering fresh character while staying true to the collection’s roots.
