Happy Birthday Jean Claude Biver!

Dear Jean Claude:

on behalf of the entire PuristSPro community, especially the Zenith Forum and also the dedicated group of Zenith-P15 owners, I would like to extend our heartfelt congratulation for just beginning another, certainly exciting, successful, healthy new printemps...



We have known each other for way more than a decade, it all started with that fateful lunch together with Marc Hayek in Le Brassus



First Blancpain, now Zenith, our paths always crossed, eventually leading now to a quite close relationship. Through all these years, you dominated the industry more and more, revived it, pushed it and rejuvenated it. Without you, your focus and your energy, but most importantly your passion which transpires every second of your presence, watch making would be very differend than is it now.



I very fondly remember the last year, when you were leading the fast creation of a timepiece which in the meantime devloped into a sought after collector's item, the Zenith Cronometro CP 2 for PuristSPro's 15th Anniversary:



But most certainly, the absolute apex of your professional career and personal aspiration was just last week, when you showed the world what it takes to shift centuries old paradigms in watch regulation: the presentation of the Zenith Defy Lab Oscillator:





Jean Claude, I wish you all the best for the new year, much, much energy and many more crazy ideas!



Cheers,
Magnus
