That's a very homogeneous dial in terms of colour
Zenith has made a quite deep work to merge all these elements together, especially with the complication.
The dial craftmanship looks amazing and the applied elements combine very well on your great pics.
The dial could indeed remain a stand-alone element, without the complication, but my feeling is that the dial accompanies very well the complication. So complication first, supported with that wonderful decorative dial.
Thanks for this excellent report Magnus, supported with great pics.
Cheers, Mark
Zenith Coffee House Tales XV: Epicurean sinning with the Academy Christophe Colomb Cohiba!
Much earlier this year, Zenith embarked upon another high level partnership; this time with the famous Casa de Habanos - Cohiba , to jointly celebrate the maison's 50th anniversary. On Zenith's side, the partnership brought to fruition two special edition...
This piece haunts me, taunts me, it makes me scream for more!
What a stunning execution! It could even sway me back to Cohibas ( I'm normally a Monte guy )
Fascinating for Zenith to attempt this
Magnus, I associate Zenith with chronometry, especially with hi-beat chronographs. Recently, a few special 'gyroscopic' tourbillon pieces were presented (Christopher Columbus) but still, the reputation lay with the utilitarian chronographs. The basse-tail...
'This is not to show to others but to enjoy personally' - I could not phrease it better, Melvyn!
It is a gentleman's private piece - kudos to Zenith for daring to create such a piece in these exuberant times. Magnus

Thanks Mark, its like the finely crafted dial creates a sea of tranquility around the gyroscope module, right?
that's an interesting way to put it, Mark. I did not immediately come to this but I surely think you have a point here. Cheers, Magnus
Certainly a statement of intent from Zenith!
A combination of an exquisite dial and a horological masterpiece is definitely another prominent statement of intent from Zenith. Yet as you say, the question is if Zenith would not be better served by separating the two. A Cal. 135 based time only watch ...
I really do hope more for the 'different league'...
and a very fine handwound movement to boot! Best, Magnus
Lovely dial!
And the back ain't bad either! Thank you for the report, Magnus! Best Blomman
