Brand History
Few brands can boast a heritage as rich as Zodiac, whose origins
date back to the early 19th century when Jacob Calame established
himself as a watchmaker in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. By
1882, Jacob’s descendant, Ariste Calame, had returned to the family’s
ancestral home in Le Locle and founded his own watch-making
workshop . The company grew dramatically in size and scope over the
next two decades .
As the years passed, world events and the developments of new
technologies radically transformed the watch industry, and Zodiac
kept pace . Astute management and quality craftsmanship provided the
impetus for continued expansions and an international reputation for
quality and innovation .
Today, Zodiac celebrates its rich Swiss watch-making tradition with
fresh designs that address a selected range of contemporary tastes,
while maintaining their classic elegance .
