Rediscovering Elegance: An Empowered Resurgence of the Favre Leuba Chief Skeleton Watches

After many stops and starts across its storied 288-year existence, Favre Leuba, the esteemed watch company, is back with impressive vigor. Distinguished for its craft and design, the company has cultivated two new collections that offer something divergent, with one of them being the modern and magnetic Chief. Presented at the grand stage of Geneva Watch Days 2025, the Chief’s latest addition, Favre Leuba Chief Skeleton watch, is a breathtaking reinterpretation of their traditional aesthetic.

The Chief model was wisely selected to demonstrate the skeleton design due to its large, unobtrusive dial that effectively showcases the skeletonized movement. The watch features an enticing measurement of 40mm in diameter and 11.76mm in thickness. The unique tonneau shape, coupled with a gentle curve, grants a charm to it while making it remarkably comfortable on the wearer’s wrist.

The case, available in classic stainless steel or an enticing black DLC stainless steel, is complemented by aesthetically appealing scoops along the sides, increasing its character. Top it off with a well-sized screw-down crown and a domed sapphire crystal, the watch is truly a classic reborn.

Last but not least, keeping this piece affixed to the wrist is a series of color-matched, high-quality rubber straps, elegant enough to make a statement, yet reassuringly durable to stand against the rudiments of daily wear.
