[Zenith] Why does Zenith have such poor brand recognition and lack of prestige among laypeople/non-watch people? (alien.top)

Basically the title. Zenith makes some pretty stellar and innovative watches imo. I also love their history and style. However, the brand recognition outside of watch lovers is pretty dismal. And while I generally buy watches for me, I do want the watches I buy (particularly those I’m paying $5k-10k for) to have some brand recognition among the public. What happened with Zenith in this respect? Or am I giving the public too little credit?

I would say they don't. Is it Rolex? No, but watch company is. But what does it matter if people who are not into watches don't know the Zenith name?
