Zenith

Thanks Rickr25 ...

 

for your comments.

These current revamped design could be also still due to Nataf, as design pipeline should be about 2 to 3 years ahead.
And for Vermot, he is someone should be honoured.  Without him, El Primero has extincted.

Happy Holidays.

Hi Mark The total thickness of Elite Ultran Thin is 7.60mm. That's the reason for a small diameter crown, I guessed its about 4.5mm. For winding it is no issue. As the movement is auto Elite 681, just a quick twenty to thirty turns will give it sufficient...

Firstly, Thank you very much for sharing this exciting forum. I wish the event like this will take place in Thailand because we have so many Zenith's admirers. I support this current CEO because the former one, Thierry Nataf, took Zenith to the WRONG dire...

For the detailed report and the pics. I was a fan of most of the Nataf designs but he also did a lot in terms of horology for Zenith as an engineer, all those great multi-complication movements. There was a lot of diversity, something for everyone, and wh...
