Ariste Calame, the founder of Zodiac watches, had a desire to make a unique and most precise watch of all time. Due to this ambition of his, he started the Zodiac Watched in 1882. But it’s just this kind of ambition that leads, with hard work and more than a little luck thrown in, to quality products. And that’s what all Zodiac watches are: high quality, made with exacting specifications, and distinctive in styling, on top of all that.

Zodiac watches have become popular for its excellent Swiss sports watches. To cater and cover the growing market, the company came up with a brand new and image-changing ad campaign at the 2005 Basel Fair with the tagline, “The New Face of Swiss.” Today’s Zodiac watches sport intrepid colors, high-quality sapphire and mineral crystals for an active lifestyle, and accurate Swiss quartz movements.

One key characteristic of the Zodiac Sports watches is that they can be personalized. Whatever team you like, you’ll find it with Zodiac Sport watches. Are you a couch potato with eyes locked on the big screen TV when your favorite game comes on? Well, Zodiac has your team. The sport watch is what they do. They understand!

The first Zodiac was a pocket watch, which is not surprising for the time. Most watches of that era were. And it’s widely known that the wrist watch as we wear it today was an innovation of the World War I years, when circumstances worked against bulky pocket watches in favor of the simplicity of the wrist view of time.

In 2001, after several changes of ownership, Fossil, Inc. purchased Zodiac and manages its lines-fewer than in its golden age of the 50s-70s-with an eye toward the company’s history of design innovation. Fossil is a major player in the international watch marketplace. It is a powerhouse manufacturer and marketer of many lines of watches.
