Friends,
I am currently going through my list of inventory and fell on this one in the list.
The Zenith Favre-Leuba Chronometre, calibre 135.
I think it is a stunning watch but I never got around to wear or share it a lot here…
In fact, I even don’t have that many photos of the watch…
Here is an old shot from 2014 I found on my hard drive that I don’t think I shared before…
Do you have this kind of watches in your collection?
You love them but rarely do photo sessions or share them here?

The Zenith Caliber 135 is a manually wound chronometer-grade movement produced by Zenith, notably from 1949 to 1962. It is recognized for its large balance wheel and oversized barrel, designed to optimize chronometric performance. This caliber was primarily housed in wristwatches, often achieving high distinctions in observatory trials. Its robust construction and precision engineering made it a significant movement in mid-20th century horology. The Caliber 135 is a testament to Zenith's commitment to accuracy and technical excellence during a period of intense competition in chronometer development. It remains a sought-after movement among collectors for its historical importance and mechanical integrity.
May be an "old" pic but still a nice one. Best wishes Alkiro
I "moonlight" in many other brands but as I wrote.... Don't share much here. Best Blomman
Do not hesitate to let me know A really lovely piece, I have to say and the Cal. 135, I have read is legendary. And the state yours is in is nothing short of astounding. Do by all means share it more often!
Hope you find yours soon, my friend! Best Blomman
The balance wheel is so nice on the Cal 135 - Big! Will try to make a change and show some of my lesser know more often... Best Blomman
Yes, very classy indeed! Best Blomman
