Worn & Wound reports that around 100 jobs at Zenith’s Le Locle headquarters and another 100 roles internationally are at risk, with formal talks underway and no final decision expected before mid-November. The report also says Zenith may reduce collections and keep retail operations closed until 2029.

Why it matters (interpretation): If confirmed, the cuts would mark a major restructuring at one of Switzerland’s best-known watchmakers. The planned retail changes also suggest a broader shift in Zenith’s distribution strategy.
