Zodiac Watches – Something for Every Adventurer
Zodiac Watches – The Background
Zodiac watches were originally founded by Ariste Calame of Le Locle in Switzerland. Watch making was very much part of family tradition as Calame’s father was also a watch maker in addition to also being a farmer. Wanting to follow in his father’s footsteps Calame set up his own watch workshop in 1882 but had the ambition of creating a timepiece which was original and dynamic. He believed that high quality control and managing all design through to production and even choosing the tools by which the watch would be crafted was the key to achieve this objective. Zodiac was then properly established in 1908 after Calame designed and made his first pocket watch.
Zodiac Watches – ‘The World’s Most Modern Watch’
Zodiac watches are made specifically to endure physical activity and are popular among those who enjoy adventure and the great outdoors. There are a range of Zodiac watches for many activities. In 1930, the brand designed and produced the first automatic sports watch and then produced the popular Zodiac Autographic, which is still very much a prominent model within the collection today. The advertisement of the Autographic back in 1955 described it as ‘The world’s most modern watch.’ The timepiece was self-winding with a power reserve gauge, an unbreakable crystal, a radium dial, and was also water and shock resistant. Indeed this was quite revolutionary back in that era! It then soon renowned for its high functions and thus became the official watch of the Swiss Federal Railways.
Zodiac Watches – The Sea Wolf
The clue is in the name with this Zodiac watch. In the 1970’s making watches which featured quartz movement was very popular and this watch incorporated that to make the first Swiss-made analog quartz watch which Zodiac then named the Sea Wolf. This timepiece soon became the official watch of the U.S. Navy Seals which proved how functional and original it was. The Sea Wolf was on the large side weighing a huge 200 grams and featured a generous sized dial and bezel and was quite aesthetically striking due to its size. It was also water-resistant up to 1000 meters down which is of course was why it was used by the U.S. Navy – the size of the watch also allowed for it to be handled with ease when wearing gloves. This watch though updated is still available today and great for hardcore sailors and divers who are looking for ultimate function in a watch.
Zodiac Watches Today
Zodiac watches have certainly gone the distance having existed for over 120 years but 2001 marked a significant change for the brand when it was bought by Fossil, one of the watch manufacturing giants. This was a positive move however as Fossil have helped modernise and adapt the brand according to what consumer want today. To enable the brand to appeal to a wider market who desire both style and function, in 2005 Fossil created an effective ad campaign at the 2005 Basel Fair with the statement, ‘The New Face of Swiss’. If you are looking for a genuine Zodiac watch however, you can seek out Vintage Zodiac watches which are of course very valuable and tend to increase in value each year. The modern range of Zodiac watches offer all the benefits of a modern aesthetic and look very sharp and slick incorporating vivid colours whilst of course remaining functional. The timepieces use Swiss movement, sapphire and mineral crystals all of which ensure high quality durability whilst on the go.

The opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway (LM) took place on 15 September 1830. Work on the LM had begun in the 1820s, to connect the major industrial city of Manchester with the nearest deep water port at the Port of Liverpool, 35 miles (56 km) away. Although horsedrawn railways already existed elsewhere, and a few industrial sites already used primitive steam locomotives for bulk haulage, the LM was the first locomotivehauled railway to connect two major cities, and the first to provide a scheduled passenger service. The opening day was a major public event. Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, the Prime Minister, rode on one of the eight inaugural trains, as did many other dignitaries and notable figures of the day. Huge crowds lined the track at Liverpool to watch the trains depart for Manchester. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
