What happened to Zenith watches?

What happened to Zenith watches?
What happened to Zenith watches was that the ownership of the watchmaker changed hands. During the quartz crisis of the 1970s and ’80s, Zenith suffered financial setbacks and struggled to recover during the ’90s. However, Louis Vuitton-Moët Hennesy (LVMH), the luxury goods company that also owns TAG Heuer and Hublot, purchased Zenith in 1999 and revived the brand. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Zenith watches.
