In the following years, Zeno developed their range to also include watches for boys, nurses' pendant watches and early digital jump hour watches. The first Zeno wrist watches were made of gold and intended solely for export. During the inter-war years, production was converted to wrist watches to meet the new and ever growing demand. In 1922, Eigeldinger & Söhne officially registered the Zeno brand (Zeno roughly translates as 'God given'). He specialized in the manufacture of observation watches for military purposes, slide rule watches and pocket watches in silver, gold and platinum.

In 1920, André-Charles Eigeldinger took over watch production. Production then concentrated on the manufacture of railway antique clocks and watches and in 1900 the company expanded and electricity was installed to power the machines. The business went from strength to strength but Godat subsequently moved onto new ventures and left the company. The Zeno Watch Company was started in 1868 by Jules Godat who made silver pocket watches. Contact Seller The Vintage Wrist Watch Company ▼ġ930s Zeno pocket watch and chain.
