History of Favre-Leuba Wristwatches
Maison Favre-Leuba over time It is the year 1737. In Le Locle, a small Swiss village in the Jura mountains and in the heart of the watchmaking world, Abraham Favre decided to officially register his Manufacture producing timepieces. It was one of the earliest watchmaking companies. 
From the very start Abraham Favre concentrated on improving the technology of his timepieces, and the quality of the materials employed in their manufacture. Thanks to his hard work and pioneering spirit, the business expanded and was passed down through eight generations of the Favre family. 
It was his grandson Henry-Auguste, who in 1814 went a step further by going into partnership with Auguste Leuba, a watch dealer from Buttes in the Val-de-Travers. 
By the 19th and early 20th centuries Favre-Leuba had ramifications around the world, with offices or representations throughout the Middle East, India and Asia, North/South America, Russia and other European countries. 
The business remained in the same family over eight generations, through to 1969. Then the quartz revolution came along, bringing many changes for the industry. 
Favre-Leuba, one of the largest companies of its time, passed through different hands such as Benedom SA and LVMH before finally regaining its independence in 2003.
This Favre-Leuba Sea Raiders II was one of the high quality watch produced. Equipped with high grade hi beat 36000 bph movement Cal. FL1164. beautifully crafted with solid stainless steel hexagon case and step cut glass crystal. It is highly sought after by watch collector.
