Story & Heritage

Founded in 1737, Favre-Leuba is among the oldest Swiss watch manufacturers, with a legacy rooted in precision, innovation, and refined design. During the 1980s, the brand produced a series of ultra-thin mechanical watches aimed at discerning clients who valued discretion, craftsmanship, and timeless aesthetics over excess.

This model reflects that philosophy perfectly. The silver dial is intentionally uncluttered, free of unnecessary text or complications, allowing the applied indices and slender hands to create a calm, harmonious layout. The absence of a seconds hand further emphasizes the watch’s dress-oriented character and mechanical purity.

The original stainless steel mesh bracelet, visible in the photos, is a desirable period-correct feature that enhances both comfort and visual coherence. The slim case profile allows the watch to sit effortlessly on the wrist, making it ideal for formal wear or elegant everyday use.

The case back shows light surface marks from normal wear, consistent with an authentic vintage piece that has been gently used and well preserved over time.

Today, this Favre-Leuba Ultra Thin stands as a quiet statement of classic Swiss watchmaking—perfect for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate minimalist design, historical continuity, and mechanical authenticity.
