Fantastic report Magnus
This project has been really well taken care of.
Thank you Magnus, Andrew and all the purists that were part of it and a huge thanks to JC Biver and the Zenith team for their work and passion. It could have been done with just a nice colour or just a few details changes but the parts involved thought about doing it the right way.
That's something I appreciate a lot in the making of this watch.
It was very nice to see the purists on your pictures.
Congratulations to the owner 
Best, Mark
BaselWorld 2017: So a dozen PuristS gathered at the Zenith booth to watch lifting the veils from the collector's community's 15th Anniversary Watch!
Baselworld this year marked a very special highlight for us PuristS, the first real-life presentation of our 15th Anniversary Watch by Zenith . More than a dozen PuristS pilgrimaged to Basel on invitation of Zenith's CEO Jean-Claude Biver to join the fest...
I knew ....
that opening this post will be HUGE mistake nevertheless I'm so proud and happy.... and that last picture of Melvyn is just precious Thanks for great report dear Magnus ...and big thanks and congrats once more to You,Andrew, the team...Zenith and for thi...
Welcome, we are glad to add you to the madness!
Look forward to seeing you on the individual forums.
The good kind, though.
Except Arie, he likes to torture with wonderful photos and crazy straps.
Great memories, Great friends and Great watch...
We got there in the end Magnus and what an ending it was... the piece is truly a wonder and I also question... WHY DID WE NOT DO MORE!!! (Banging my fist on the virtual table in JCB style!) It was a ride... sometime rocky... but we steered the ship to get...
Wonderful report, Magnus
it feels like being there at the event. What a wonderful outcome and seeing all those happy faces is just great. CC
My favorite parts of the report are seeing the excited PuristS, and the comment about Andrew's jacket!
To put a few faces with the names is very special. Zenith and JCB, they really did us a solid with this watch. We have seen a handful of LEs in correlation with websites. None are in this league when you consider all the factors - the actual watch, the pr...
Don't worry... I gave it away to a homeless man outside the show
and walked back to the hotel with my head held down in shame Cheers Andrew

Thanks for this great report :)
And as said, if Damjan is a good boy, he may get his in June
Love the report and what great photos :) but I'm starting to be a little more like Damjan, I'm contemplating which šiba to use, I know oak is sturdy but maple might do well....still I have
a bit more patience in the tank, no need to take out the heavy weaponry just yet lol. Everyone looks so happy at the event great to put a face to the usernames
Patience....what's that!? Šiba...
on other hand came out from heaven as they taught us
Hahaha :D Now the only real decision is, size and shape :D
Or...go more traditional and use the whole tree, it is the most "Green" friendly, as we can always re-plant when the job is done lol ...
No need for šiba just yet.
Unless it is for Damjan. Then, I recommend something flexible that stings. That's how he keeps students in line.
Fantastic post!
Thanks for the photos of the special evening. The nubuck strap looks A+++. Thanks again. M4
Great forum, great people, great watch, great venue!!
Many thanks to all who made this possible!
I think your math is off a bit.
I am already there in my mind, sipping a grappa, admiring my new piece.
Fantastic report, Magnus. I also appreciate a lot the words you dedicated to Oliver. Oliver, we miss you.
As for the watch, it is always exciting to be part of the team who was in charge to submit that project to Zenith, and to check that all went well. This watch is well born. It is a symbol, for us and for Zenith, I strongly think so. A very interesting det...
A very sincere thank you and a huge congratulations to everyone involved.
All has been said above. Amazing team effort, amazing final product, and a bonding exercise for all involved. I only regret I couldn't attend in person to meet those I have already not met. This is a perfect example of what this community is about and why...
Wonderful Event and so nice to see

Wow. Just wow!
We should get another one soon! What an experience, and to be delivered by JCB himself at Basel, that's tremendous. A job well done! And now I want an encore!

Late to the party, just back from Stockholm (sorry Blomman, I had a full agenda this time...), but a big thanks again to...
