Zenith CP-2 PuristSPro 15 Collection

foversta celebrates the arrival of his Zenith CP-2 PuristSPro 15, a special project watch, sharing his excitement and initial impressions. This article captures the personal significance of this timepiece and the community spirit behind its creation, featuring photos from the Basel delivery ceremony.

First of all, I would like to thank Magnus and Andrew for the project and of course the Zenith team under the leadership of Jean-Claude Biver. The delivery ceremony at Basel was a great moment! Here is a few pics I took and believe me, I enjoy each second spent with it.

With Jean-Claude Biver:

The happy group:

And one of the key men of the project with Mr Biver:

The CP-2 is back to Paris:

And I wore it during a Tour Auto presentation:

I took the decision to replace the nato by the strap, I much prefer a buckle than a folding clasp for this watch.

Thanks again to all the people involved in this project which became reality a few days ago!

Key Points from the Discussion

The PuristSPro 15 is more than just a watch; it symbolizes the friendship and shared passion among a group of watch collectors.
The delivery of the watch by Jean-Claude Biver himself made the acquisition a truly special and memorable moment for collectors.
One collector expresses a preference for a manual winding movement over the automatic in the CP-2, indicating it would have been a decisive factor for purchase.
The author's fair opinions and excellent wristshots have significantly influenced other collectors' choices over the years.
The community expresses anticipation for their own CP-2 deliveries, highlighting the collective excitement surrounding the project.
The option to switch from a NATO strap to a traditional strap with a buckle is a preferred aesthetic choice for some owners.

Of course, I expect your arm around a nice lady at these events to be fully back to normal ;-)

Great to see you back and smiling. You have influenced a lot of my collecting in the many years (without knowing it) from your fair opinions and par excellence wristshots. Now the Lange 1815 chrono pulsations is not the only watch we have in common - we both have the Purists CP-2. Wish I could have been there at the JCB event!

I've never had a watch delivered through JCB! That's a very special moment! When's the next PuristSPro watch coming out?
