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. However, the Favre-Leuba family was forced to sell the company's name in 1985 due to the ongoing quartz crisis, which made manufacturing watches more difficult.
The company has collaborated and supported numerous mountaineers, as their Bivouac watches feature an altimeter and an aneroid barometer. Favre Leuba is the second-oldest watch brand in the world, with Blancpain having been founded two years earlier in 1735.[1]
