Zenith 2010 Watches + CEO Jean-Frederic Dufour Interview
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jean-Frederic Dufour, the CEO of Zenith, on his visit to Los Angeles to present the El Primero Striking Jean-Louis Etienne, a special edition chronograph honoring the Arctic explorer of its name. The event took place at Westime in Beverly Hills, an influential watch boutique and one of Zenith's authorized dealers.A charming man spring-loaded with enthusiasm, Dufour loves to retell the story of the beginnings of Zenith when Georges Favre-Jacot at the age of 22 invented the modern manufacture with all the specialties under one roof.

If so, how does one know if the hand is on its first turn or its second? As well, is it possible that the conclusions I came to are wrong? That watch is quite incredible to admire but I always feel like I can't appreciate its view enough since I always have to ask myself those questions...Here are some pictures to amuse you my friends, thank you for taking the tim

A bit late, but after the rush of Christmas, I have finally sat down to play with my Christmas watches from my partner. My latest incomings, glad to have the LV back in the fold, as it is one watch that I loved and regretted selling.
