Longines Ever since Auguste Agassiz and Ernest Francillon won the bronze medal at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1867 for the very first mechanically produced watch with a crown for both winding and adjusting hands, Longines have won many prizes for the technical, mechanical aesthetical quality of their watches. Their current range continues this tradition and Deacons's are very proud to represent this fine watchmaker - the world's oldest registered brand name in watchmaking - with a full selection of DolceVita, La Grande Classique de Longines, Les Grandes Classiques de Longines, Heritage, Flagship, Conquest and oposition models.

Zenith Watch company was founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot at Le Locle in the Canton of Neuchatel, Switzerland. Georges Favre-Jacot recognised the importance of the interchangeability of parts, consequently preparing the change from craftmanship to the industrial era. By 1875 Zenith employed 10% of the local population.

The world over Zenith has been acclaimed for its technical and aesthetic perfection, featuring in exhibitions in Paris, Milan, Barcelona, Montreal and New York. Since 1903 Zenith has been awarded 1,565 first observatory prizes in Chronometry, making Zenith the most rewarded Swiss Watch brand for its precision and reliability.

Zenith is one of the last Swiss watch companies still manufacturing its own movements. Currently Zenith has at its disposal three high quality mechanical movement families:

El Primero, automatic or manually wound chronograph movement. Elite, ultra thin automatic or manually wound movement. 5011K, manually wound movement for ships' chronometers or for precision pocket watches.
