[Basel] Zenith, novelties, renew of the star.

I was receive in Zenith (thanks ) at Basel.

The Zenith stand appear from the foggy ruin of the Nataf smoky reign.

I'am know that you want to see, we enter in close combat with the bridge head ot the new collection.





I don't know the real difficulties to implement this complication, but I was almost despite of the continous movement of the great second
I'am waiting for a Foudroyante. An this second oscillate lightly in the last 4 second, technical need apparently, the dial is superb, as all this new
collection, at 7000€ this is a frontal assault on the Rolex Daytona, who suffer about the comparaison.
In video:





Another watch of mass destructions is the new EP Tourbillon. Someone call this "Chinese tourbillon", we are far from à Chinese Tourbillon.
The disposal of subdial is very funny, like soap bubbles (Argghh Yog Shothot!!!) , this sub-dial can make forget the delta between the movement and the case.
I can't imagine the cut of the bridge for let space to the tourbillon cage...
The finish is proper, but I have some difficulty to see it like a real luxury watch, the dial look alike a VC, but it miss something, she's look cheaper than a Master Tourbillon JlC.
But the Tourbillon is very good.
The price is really competitive, around 35000€, for a 36000 a/h chrono tourbillon, lot of independant have to inspire of this...





One other exotic declension of EP, with a countdown, monopusher, a good idea, but not succeeded, technically and aesthetically.



A rattrapante, always usefull, the dial is nicer in blue, but it stay quit good in this version.
This proper, limit perfect, and the price is nice.



This model, for women, but I love it, it sound Funky Collector.



A real interesting model for women, the mother-of-pearl blue dial is crazy, very impressive, it remember me
the blue dial of the Lange1 "Soirée" for Dubail, but the diamonds on the lugs are crappy... What a pity.



Ma favorite, and one of the interesting watch of Basel, a great chrono, the pics are not good as the watch, the blue irised dial is
crazy (It make me remember about a recent QP AP), a SL around 5000€, if I wasn't buy my Amvox2, I was buyer.



Always in the unforgeattable Chronos, magnific it came back to the roots. A beautiful image, after Nataf Horrors.











The 3 hands version, so much beautiful than the chrono, she make me think about someone caliber 135.
Some voice said that Zenith think about rebuild this caliber 135.



A serial a classic 3 hands, numbers of versions, that me think about Chopard watchs, Mr Dufour came from Chopard, we will not cry
this nice, at the good price, 3000€ for the steel version and 10000€ for gold one.







A little, squary, for asian market?



A great Basel of renew for Zenith, I will not think that the novelties are so quick and numerous, beautiful pieces, sell a the good price, in this harsh times.
The will of bury the Nataf period is obvious, the famous interwiew of Dufour is direct for inside and outside of Zenith.
Even a lot a watch are not perfect, I never feel so much thing when I looking Zenith watch, great Happyness.
