Zenith

At a recent event at Westime Beverly Hills, Team PuristSPro had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Jean-Frederic Dufour, global CEO of Zenith. Founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot in the Swiss mountains of Neuchatel, the manufacturer has had a noted hist...  

so looking forward to what Zenith has in store for us in the near future. Striking 10th is on my wishlist, very good looking and classic feel, I like it alot. Great Job Anthony. Drew

Ming basically did everything including transcription. I was only there as Ming's sidekick! Cheers, Anthony

and got to try on the Christopher Columb at the dinner hosted by Zenith in Singapore last Thursday. I like its Ultrathin very much and was fortunate to get a piece that is limited at 250pcs.

Hello mell0822, Yes, nice choice with the Zenith Ultrathin, hope you share some pics with us on the forum. What did you think of the Christopher Columb? -MW

I've a small wrist that can take a 42mm at best. It's kinda big for me, but it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, despite its unique design. Attached a photo of my New Vintage 1955 and the Ultra Thin. The latter is slight half the thickness of the New Vin...  

One thing I noticed with the Zenith Christopher Columb is that the sapphire glass back is round which could be protruding on the wrist when worn. Did you notice any comfort issues with that? -MW

did have some trouble with the clasp when taking out the watch the first time i tried it on. Just dun wear it tightly. In all, i love it. Just that my wrist and wallet are too small for it

. . . a view into the future, and Jean-Frederic's comments can only leave a positive impression for those that hold tradition and history with high regard. It's gratifying to see Zenith reclaim its patrimony.

Thank you both for sharing with us the very informative and comprehensive interview with Zenith CEO. I am impressed and can't help wanting to keep an eye on them and looking forward to their line-up going forward. Great job! Best, Ken PS: this is the firs... 

Ha! Yes - I've seen Anthony "at work" in his boxer shorts when he was a day trader in California and 3 hours behind the NYSE trading hours. I'm considering selling the photos on eBay Regards, MTF

is well known to old-timer PuristS as he used to work for Chopard LUC, which is excellent PuristS' territory. The passion for horology at both Zenith and Chopard is palpable and emanates from their people. When J-F joined Zenith, we were somewhat reassure... 

Appreciate you looking MTF!

Maybe it will be seen as the turning point for Zenith, when it went from a fairly obscure brand to a better known one. And to quote what I wrote in an earlier post , "And to be fair, it must be said a watch collection cannot be made overnight, so some or ...
