Zeon is a British subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Herald Group. Established in 1979 as an importer of LED watches, Zeon initially specialized in bringing the first kids’ character watches to the UK. Featured characters from this era included Star Wars, Indiana Jones, E.T., James Bond, Rambo, and Mr. T. Zeon was acquired by the Herald Group in 1994, and the following year began taking licenses to produce fashion and lifestyle watches.
Nigel Mansell
Fortunately for Formula One fans, part of Zeon’s pre-Herald Group portfolio included a variety of Nigel Mansell timepieces ranging from digital, ana digi, and quartz analog watches. Some later models appeared in the Argos catalog from 1991 until 1995.
