Favre Leuba brand history and collection revitalization

Overview

The Swiss watch brand Favre Leuba has highlighted its historical heritage, which dates back to the 18th century. The brand’s roots trace to 1718 with Abraham Favre’s apprenticeship, with his emergence as an independent watchmaker in Le Locle recognized in 1737.

Building on this history, the brand is currently focusing on revitalizing its historical collections under the leadership of Patrik Hoffmann. This strategy includes the expansion of the Harpoon Revival collection, which features new models that reissue a 1966 design. These timepieces maintain a vintage aesthetic, utilizing automatic movements and specific historical branding to connect modern releases with the company’s past.
