ZENITH Ginza Boutique Open!  It was "preliminarily" opened on Sep. 28, and there will be the Grand Opening on November 1.  So, although it is already open, this is the preview smile

Center of Ginza, close to the busiest crossing and facing the major street.  One of the best location you can think of.














El Primero





































Cute.  Black dial, diamond on the side of the bezel.









The most popular model these days.
















With power reserve of 50 hous





This is an interesting model...








Moonphase... sure..




But, not only that, but also Sunphase!






















Now, THE Christopher Columbus.....  Sorry for so many pics.....  There are even video to show you how in the sphere the tourbillon tries to keep the "posture".











The wrist side dome is smaller




So beautiful back side.












Small second subdial on the left, power reserve meter on the right
















Very, very beautiful piece....




Had to wear glove to try it on.... smile








Now the video....  See how inside the dome moves....




Then, today's Port Royal series....












Something interesting in the back of the boutique....








Old clock, I guess....





Again, very nice location....   Well done, ZENITH, for finding this spot.





Will report again on the Grand Opening on November 1.


Thanks!

Ken

Special thanks to the staff of the boutique.   Wada-san, the manager was taking a day-off unfortunately....

And u never fail to share ! Boutique is very well stocked, despite looking like a small space. Not seen some of the models/variations that you put up in photos.

Ginza is a great place for shopping (bar unfair exchange rate) in Tokyo. Memories .... About the Boutique offerings, I need to see in flesh those open dial El Primeiros. Cheers, Nilo

Hey, don't forget. I am not working, so everyday is Sunday! Hahaha. Yes, I have been keeping busy, but I will need a real job soon! Or, I will start selling more watches :-) Thanks! Ken

.. yes, from your perspective... But for us, it is more fair, as buyers. The watches and other stuff had been for so long unfairly more expensive than anywhere in the world and now it is getting closer to the world standard. So, I don't really understand why people are bitching and trying to reverse the "deflation" of the prices in general (note that I have Economics degree and have worked for a bank for a long time and know what I am talking about). Sure, exporters are having tough time here, t

. . . for reporting on the opening of the first Zenith boutique in Japan. Not only stellar images (well, we've come to expect that from you!), but also video of the gimbaled escapement in the Christophe Colomb. I've handled a CC on two occasions, but now, there's video to refresh my memory. Great stuff, Ken . . . very much appreciated. Warm regards, Art

Zenith is one of the brands I truly admire and respect its history and legendary movements. It is our pleasure to have such renowned house in Tokyo very much. Ken
