Hands-On: Zenith Launches A Suite Of Three New High Complications In New Materials (Including A Plat
Zenith has just announced that three of its most complicated watches, which premiered this year in new case materials, are now available – and we had a chance recently to go hands-on with the new models, and gather some first impressions of these very exotic and very rarely seen timepieces. The new models are a limited edition platinum version of the Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane Georges-Favret Jacot, and titanium versions of the Academy Georges Favret-Jacot (with fusée and chain) and the El Primero Tourbillon. 1 OF 12 Above, Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane Georges Favret-Jacot in platinum The Academy Georges Favret-Jacot was launched, as we reported last year, for the firm’s 150th anniversary and is named for Zenith’s founder, Georges Favret-Jacot, who founded the firm in Le Locle in 1865 at the age of 22.

2015 Class Photo
Since I have recently refocused my collecting efforts on vintage Omega, I wanted to share this year's class photo. The only watch I already had in my collection prior to 2015 was the jumbo bumper Seamaster that I got in 1987 at an estate auction when I was 7.

The buyer of the Paul Newman Paul Newman

Like what I did there?.... So here's my watch. Originally my father's which he purchased in about 1981 after securing a big shipping contract in the Middle East, where I grew up. Thought it was lost for the last 17 years as Dad had Alzheimers, but it turned up in a box of junk (her words) that my Stepmum gave me after he passed away last year.

Went for the metallic blue dial and brown leather strap for a sort of classic/ modern look. I'll get the gold bracelet repaired in good time, but for now I'm pretty pleased with the result. Great to give this watch a new lease of life and in a way I feel closer to Dad as it was his most pre
