Favre Leuba 1737 Triple Calendar Blue 00.20501.108.02.102

The Favre Leuba 1737 Triple Calendar Blue Ref. 00.20501.108.02.102 is an elegant expression of traditional Swiss watchmaking, combining the beauty of classical calendar complications with the brand's remarkable heritage dating back to 1737. Introduced at Watches and Wonders Geneva in 2026, the 1737 collection takes its name from the year Abraham Favre established his independent watchmaking business in Le Locle, Switzerland. Its beautifully proportioned 39mm stainless steel case measures 12.11mm thick, featuring alternating polished and brushed surfaces that give the watch a refined yet contemporary presence. The striking blue sunray dial features applied 4N gold-finished Roman numerals and baton hour markers, complemented by matching hands and an elegant pointer-date display around the outer edge. Twin apertures beneath 12 o'clock display the day and month, while a beautifully executed moonphase complication at 6 o'clock adds a distinctly classical touch. A sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback, discreet calendar correctors, and 100 meters of water resistance complete the sophisticated construction. The watch is fitted with a matching blue leather strap featuring a quick-release system and a stainless steel pin buckle engraved with Favre Leuba's historic hourglass emblem.

Inside is Favre Leuba's automatic Calibre FLD06, a sophisticated Swiss movement featuring 25 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and an impressive 56-hour power reserve. Visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback, the movement showcases traditional finishing, including Côtes de Genève decoration, perlage, blued screws, and a beautifully skeletonized gold-toned rotor bearing the brand's signature hourglass emblem. The 1737 Triple Calendar represents a meaningful return to Favre Leuba's historic expertise in complicated watchmaking, drawing inspiration from the original Datora triple-calendar moonphase watches introduced in 1946 and the elegant calendar timepieces produced during the 1950s. These early models established Favre Leuba's reputation for combining sophisticated mechanical complications with distinctive, highly legible dial designs. The modern 1737 continues that tradition, incorporating a complete calendar and moonphase into a versatile case designed for contemporary wear. With its rich blue sunray dial, gold-toned accents, beautifully finished automatic movement, and direct connection to nearly three centuries of Swiss watchmaking heritage, the Ref. 00.20501.108.02.102 represents a compelling combination of traditional horological craftsmanship and modern mechanical performance.

New

Favre Leuba traces its roots back to 1737 in Le Locle, Switzerland, when Abraham Favre is documented as running his own watchmaking workshop.
Over the next generations, his descendants expanded the firm: in 1792 a formal firm “A. Favre & Fils” was established, and by 1815 Henry-Auguste Favre partnered with Auguste Leuba, coalescing into the name Favre-Leuba.

The brand became known not just for fine complications and precise movements, but for technical innovation: in the 1950s and 60s, Favre Leuba developed proprietary calibers (FL101, FL103/104) and produced landmark tool watches such as the Bivouac—the first mechanical wristwatch combining altimeter and barometer—and the Deep Blue diver’s watch.

However, the quartz revolution of the 1970s–80s strained many traditional mechanical watchmakers, and in 1985 the Favre family was forced to cede control of the company.

Over the years the brand passed through various owners, including stints with LVMH and, later, Titan (of India).
Ethos Watches
In recent years, Favre Leuba has attempted revivals and re-launches: in 2011 Titan acquired it, and as of 2024–2025 it is undergoing yet another revival with fresh watch collections, renewed branding (dropping the hyphen), and an eye toward reconnecting with its heritage—particularly its longstanding ties to India.
