Favre Leuba Deep Raider Renaissance Meteorite 00.20308.101.52.200

Favre Leuba brings cosmic materiality into the Deep Raider Renaissance in 2025 as it debuts its first meteorite dial, forged from Muonionalusta iron found in northern Sweden. The debut reflects the brand’s commitment to material-led innovation and precise craftsmanship. Each dial carries ancient Widmanstätten patterns formed in space over millions of years, ensuring that every timepiece remains visually singular and structurally unique.

Favre Leuba’s dial introduces Muonionalusta meteorite from northern Sweden, revealing its unique Widmanstätten patterns through precise cutting and acid treatment. Each fragment is carefully selected and refined, preserving its natural texture and durability giving every dial its own cosmic signature.

Each dial is crafted from natural stone, resulting in inherent variations in texture, pattern, and appearance. Accordingly, the stone dial of the actual timepiece may differ from that depicted in images. No two dials will look alike.

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.
