FAVRE LEUBA 1737 TRIPLE CALENDAR
A New Collection Inspired by the Maison’s Founding Year
At Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, Favre Leuba introduces the new 1737 collection, a contemporary expression of the maison’s nearly three centuries of watchmaking heritage.
Making its Watches and Wonders debut less than two years after the brand’s global revival, Favre Leuba expands its modern portfolio with a new collection pillar positioned alongside:
Chief
Sea Sky
Deep Raider
Harpoon
The inaugural model within the new line is the 1737 Triple Calendar, a complication-focused timepiece rooted in classical Swiss horology.
A Tribute to 1737
Honouring Nearly Three Centuries of Watchmaking
The collection’s name references the year Abraham Favre founded the maison in Le Locle.
While the new 1737 Triple Calendar is contemporary in execution, it draws directly from Favre Leuba’s historic expertise in calendar complications, particularly:
The 1946 Datora
1950s triple calendar moon phase watches
Bovet & Frères collaborations
Valjoux-powered calendar chronographs
These historic references established Favre Leuba as one of the Swiss manufacturers capable of producing highly complicated calendar watches during the mid-20th century. The new 1737 continues that legacy through a refined modern interpretation.
Contemporary Geometry Inspired by the 1970s
A Modern Stainless Steel Case Design
The 1737 Triple Calendar features a sharply geometric 39mm stainless steel case inspired by Favre Leuba’s bold 1970s design language.
Case Specifications:
Diameter: 39mm
Thickness: 12.11mm
Lug-to-lug: 47.1mm
Water resistance: 100 metres (10 ATM)
Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating
Exhibition sapphire caseback
The case balances vintage proportions with contemporary wearability and refined finishing.
Triple Calendar and Moon Phase Display
Classical Horology Reimagined
The 1737 Triple Calendar combines traditional calendar and astronomical complications within a balanced dial layout.
Display Features:
Day aperture at 12 o’clock
Month aperture at 12 o’clock
Pointer date display
Moon phase display at 6 o’clock
Favre Leuba positions the watch as a tribute to classical watchmaking, where functionality and elegance coexist harmoniously.
Dial Composition and Finishing
Layered Textures and Refined Detail
The dial construction showcases multiple finishing techniques designed to create visual depth and subtle contrast.
Dial Details Include:
Sunray-finished central dial
Circular brushed pointer date track
Snailed minute scale
Applied 4N gold-finished hour markers
Combination of Roman numerals and stick indexes
The interplay of textures enhances both readability and sophistication.
The knurled bezel: an immediately recognisable Parmigiani Fleurier signature; captures reflections with rhythmic regularity and introduces a tactile dimension to the watch. Historically associated with functional instruments, this knurling enhances grip and subtly anchors the piece within the world of technical timekeeping. The case middle naturally integrates the chronograph pushers, while the screw-down crown ensures water resistance to 100 metres.
Strap and Wearability
The watch is paired with a blue leather strap featuring:
Stainless steel pin buckle
Engraved Favre Leuba hourglass monogram
Integrated quick-release system
The tool-free strap exchange system enhances versatility for daily wear.
A Contemporary Expression of Heritage
With the 1737 Triple Calendar, Favre Leuba bridges historical calendar watchmaking with its modern Renaissance era.
The collection reflects the maison’s evolving identity through:
Classical complications
Contemporary geometry
Refined mechanical finishing
Accessible Swiss haute horlogerie positioning
Retailing at CHF 3,500, the 1737 Triple Calendar introduces one of the strongest value propositions in Swiss calendar complications presented at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026.
