HISTORY OF ZODIAC
X ONE TREE PLANTED
Since our founding more than a century ago, Zodiac have dedicated themselves to the precision and craftsmanship associated with Swiss timekeeping — with a rebellious spirit. Consistently pushing the limits of design innovation, evolving their style and driving their timepieces to become more technical and dynamic.
Their pursuit to create quality, precision Swiss watches made to be worn and lived in has been the fuel for some of their most beloved collections. As they create the next generation of tool, dive and dress watches, the engineers and artisans are already hard at work challenging boundaries and breaking rules.
