Zenith

I met up with my undercover Zenith contact Miss R in one of Vienna's most traditional coffeehouse, the Kaffeehaus Sperl (see below), for an intensive horological session on all things Zenith. We will meet again in loose succession from now on. Topic of ou...  

Actually, don't know what to think about it... I think that I much prefer the Espada since I'm not a fan of open dials. Thanks! Fx

. . . ah, pleasant memories of Vienna, 1967. There was a record store nearby, too . . . still have an LP acquired there. As for this iteration of the El Primero sans chronograph, it's commendable Zenith kept its dimensions modest by current standards. Not... 

then no, not really close (you still can walk, though): the Chattanooga is in the city centre (1. district), whereas 'our' café is in the 4. district, an adjacent neighbourhood. Memories from 1967... I was not even in the making, then ;-) Magnus

Unfortunately the new Synopsis line does not appeal to me whatsoever either in concept or aesthetics. I wish Zenith would give this open dial a rest. It is iconic Zenith, but not in a good way. That said, these open dials windows are a vast improvement fr...

This is an excellent series concept, and I'm excited to see where it will lead. Your setting, photography, and write-up are ideal for a detailed watch study. If you have specific models in mind for future editions, please let us know whether we can sway y... 

I sincerely applaud your comment in favour of the Nataf-era watches, a time at Zenith which most would like to forget sooner rather than later. But I stay with what I have said before: It was a necessary period which (i) brought Zenith back onto the map o... 

but I also think you will find more satisfaction with the subject of future posts in this serious - oh, I shouldn't have said that ... Cheers, Magnus

Zenith is really one of my favorite brands.
