Leonidas is famous for the production of stopwatches and chronographs with counters. In the early 20 century, many countries were using Leonidas watches like Germany, France, Japan, United States to name a few. In 1964, the company merged the Heuer Company. The new company called Heuer Leonidas SA specialized in stopwatches and chronographs.
