Favre Leuba introduces the 1737 Collection at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, marking its first appearance at the salon since its recent revival. Named after the brand’s founding year, the 1737 Triple Calendar becomes the first model in a new family, joining established lines like the Chief, Deep Raider, Sea Sky and Harpoon. It draws directly from Favre Leuba’s long-standing expertise in calendar complications, with roots going back to the 1946 Datora and subsequent mid-century triple calendar moon phase watches. The result is a timepiece that respects classical Swiss watchmaking while presenting it in a clear, modern and highly wearable format.
The 39mm stainless steel case strikes a balance between sharp geometry and understated elegance, subtly echoing the brand’s 1970s design language. On the dial, attention to detail stands out immediately. A sunray finish forms the base, complemented by a brushed pointer date track and a finely snailed minute scale. Gold-toned applied markers combine Roman numerals with baton indexes, adding depth without clutter. Day and month are displayed through twin apertures at 12 o’clock, while a moon phase at 6 o’clock introduces a refined astronomical touch. The layout feels intuitive, delivering strong legibility.
Inside, the FLD06 automatic movement ensures reliable performance with accuracy rated at plus or minus five seconds per day. The movement is visible through the sapphire caseback and features traditional finishes such as Côtes de Genève, perlage and a skeletonized rotor with gold tone detailing. Practical elements are well considered, including integrated correctors for easy adjustment and a quick release leather strap for versatility. The 1737 Triple Calendar brings together Favre Leuba’s heritage in complications with a clean, contemporary design that fits effortlessly into modern collections.
