FAVRE-LEUBA
The company was founded in 1737 by Abraham Favre in Le Locle, Switzerland, making it one of the oldest watch companies in the world. Originally, it started as a small workshop producing clocks and pocket watches. It was in 1815 when Abraham Favre Jr. forged a partnership with Auguste Leuba, birthing the iconic brand, Favre Leuba.
During the 20th century, Favre-Leuba continued to innovate, introducing several pioneering technologies in watchmaking. In 1925, they launched the Bivouac, the world's first wristwatch with an altimeter, catering to the needs of mountaineers and adventurers. This marked the beginning of Favre-Leuba's reputation for producing watches for extreme conditions.
Today, Favre-Leuba remains a respected name in the world of watchmaking, valued by collectors and enthusiasts for its heritage and quality.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust the lighting, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
