Zenith Watches
In 1969, Zenith was the first company to launch an in-house integrated automatic chronograph movement. To be considered in-house, 100% of the movements components had to be made in-house. Because of this feat, Zenith is known to be the "master of chronographs" in the watch industry. Today, Zenith makes around 24,000 watches per year. Moyer is one of only 42 stores to be Authorized Retailers in the United States.
Zenith exists to inspire individuals to pursue their dreams as depicted in their motto "Time to Reach Your Star". The star became the symbol for reaching because it's the highest point in the sky. Zenith was established in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot at age 22, and their company is still headquartered at the original location in Switzerland. Zenith's watches have accompanied extraordinary figures that dreamt big and strived to achieve the impossible. Iconic legends such as Louis Blériot with his history-making flight across the English Channel, Felix Baumgartner with his record-setting stratospheric free-fall jump, and Mahatma Ghandi with his quest for equal rights have all made history while relying on their Zenith watches.
