Leijona Heritage watches

Leijona Heritage is the Heritage 1907 Collection of the Finnish watch brand Leijona, developed with the watchmaker Kari Voutilainen. Its models include the Jalo Sport, Oiva Classic and Försti Diver.

Leijona traces its history to the early 1900s, when the watchmaker Johan Werner Lindroos began importing Swiss watches to Finland; the brand dates itself to 1907. Its lion-and-shield emblem was first registered in Switzerland by Albert Kenel & Co in December 1880. Perkko bought Lindroos's business in 1919, and the brand remains owned by the Finnish company Oy Perkko.
