Favre Leuba Unveils the 1737 Triple Calendar Honoring A Legacy Of Classical Complications
Released at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, the 1737 Triple Calendar celebrates Favre Leuba’s mastery of classical complications and honors the brand’s founding year. As the first model of the maison’s fifth pillar, it follows the Chief, Deep Raider, Sea Sky, and Harpoon collections. Rooted in traditional watchmaking, the 1737 unites calendar and astronomical features with modern 1950s-inspired geometry, offering a refined, contemporary expression of one of horology’s most timeless complications.
A Modern Tribute to Favre Leuba’s Calendar Legacy
The 1737 revisits one of Favre Leuba’s most revered complications, drawing direct inspiration from the brand’s triple calendar and moon phase watches produced during the 1950s. Its name references the year Abraham Favre began the family’s watchmaking lineage, anchoring the watch within nearly three centuries of uninterrupted heritage. The 1737 presents a classical complication in a form that feels relevant, refined, and purposefully modern.
Refined Proportions
Crafted in stainless steel, the 39mm case balances crisp architectural lines with a slender, wearable profile. Alternating brushed and polished finishes create a continuous play of light that accentuates the case’s faceted construction. The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the decorated movement, reinforcing mechanical authenticity.
Discrete correctors are seamlessly integrated into the case at 2 and 10 o’clock, enabling precise adjustment of the month and day. These flush buttons maintain the clean, uninterrupted lines of the case, ensuring that functionality does not compromise the watch’s refined proportions.
A Multilayered Expression Of Time
The dial immediately draws attention through its carefully orchestrated interplay of textures and finishes. The sunray-brushed center radiates outward toward a circular-brushed pointer date track and a finely snailed minute scale. Applied 4N gold-finished hour markers, alternating between Roman numerals and batons, reflect light with the movement of the wrist, creating a sense of depth and quiet animation. At six o’clock, the moon phase introduces a poetic rhythm to the calendar layout, softening the display while preserving clear and intuitive legibility.
Comfortable To Wear, Easy To Interchange
Paired with a leather strap that complements the dial’s refined palette, the 1737 is secured with a pin buckle engraved with the Favre Leuba sablier (or hourglass) emblem. For added versatility, quick-release spring bars allow for effortless, tool-free strap changes, offering practical adaptability without disrupting the watch’s clean profile.
Contemporary Mechanical Heart
Powering the 1737 is the FLD06 self-winding caliber, delivering steady energy to support the triple calendar and moon phase indications, ensuring that each display advances with reliable precision. Regulated to a maximum deviation of ±5 seconds per day, the movement is engineered for consistent real-world performance.
Exceptional Finishing
The movement is presented in a 4N gold tone which lends a pronounced sense of opulence to its mechanical architecture. Refined embellishments such as Côtes de Genève sweep across the bridges, while perlage and diamond snailing animate the underlying surfaces, creating a layered visual texture that becomes more noticeable as light moves across the caliber. Heat-blued screws introduce subtle contrast, reinforcing the sense of traditional watchmaking craft.
Custom Rotor Design
The 4N PVD rotor features a skeletonized construction and a bespoke design adorned with Colimaçon and Soleillage finishes. The Favre Leuba monogram is engraved as a medallion on the custom-skeletonized oscillating weight. The precision required in skeletonizing the rotor extends beyond aesthetics, reflecting both engineering rigor and refined craftsmanship.
