Born in Le Locle in 1737, Favre Leuba has measured the heights and depths of human adventure with heroic Swiss ingenuity.
Founded by Abraham Favre.
The Favre Leuba name was born in 1815, when Henry August Favre joined forces with Auguste Leuba of a family of watchmakers and merchants.
The Bivouac of 1962 was the first mechanical wristwatch with an aneroid barometer and altimeter, worn by climbers Walter Bonatti and Junko Tabei.
The Bathy of 1968 pioneered the mechanical measurement of diving depth on the wrist, alongside the timing of each dive.
The Raider Bivouac 9000 measures altitude mechanically up to 9,000 metres and reached the summit of Mount Everest in 2018.
A climber's line ascends the peak and the altitude hand follows.
