Zenith - 1900-1949

Brand: Zenith
Type: Pocket Watch
Case Material: Silver
Case Diameter (excluding crown): approx. 51 mm
Working: Working well

Estimated Era: 1910

This timepiece was born in the early years of the twentieth century from the pioneering vision of Georges Favre-Jacot, the founder of Zenith who revolutionized Swiss watchmaking by bringing together all artisanal crafts within a single integrated factory in Le Locle. The internal movement represents the pinnacle of technology of its time, celebrated by the prestigious awards engraved on the dust cover: the Gold Medal of Geneva in 1896 and the Grand Prix of Paris in 1900, the latter the highest honor ever awarded to a watch manufacturer for the excellence and precision of its calibers.

The watch was specifically destined for the Swedish market, as evidenced by the signature on the dial of Carl Larsson, a renowned jeweler and importer operating in Älmhult, who guaranteed Swiss quality to the sophisticated Scandinavian clientele.

High-end technical highlights:
- Precise lever escapement.
- 15 jewels to reduce friction.
- Bimetallic balance wheel to compensate for temperature variations.
- Famous Breguet hairspring to ensure a constant, isochronous oscillation.
- Silver .800 case with a “Galonné” style, characterized by elegant gold-pushed profiles (two-tone Art Nouveau contrast).

Every detail, from the Swiss hallmarks depicting the “Partridge” to the guilloché finishes on the case back, tells a story of artisanal mastery. This Zenith was not merely a tool to measure time but a status symbol designed to last for generations.
