Founded in 1737 in Le Locle, Switzerland, Favre Leuba is the second-oldest Swiss watch brand, built on a legacy of pioneering utility rather than formal dress watches. The brand established its reputation in the mid-20th century by engineering robust tool watches for climbers, divers, and explorers. Its most notable innovation, the 1962 Bivouac, was the first mechanical wristwatch equipped with an altimeter and barometer, while the Bathy introduced a mechanical depth gauge for divers.
