Zenith

Dear all

I recently had the pleasure to visit the Zenith manufacture. In a chat with CEO Jean-Frédéric Dufour he gave me a little sneak peek at the Basel novelties. I thought that I wanted to share with you my delight and so I asked Jean-Frédéric's permission to post on this forum the below shot of two especially interesting models. He consented.


Yes, this is a rotating bezel!

I will be happy to share with you the many pictures I shot during the visit and the notes I took of the chat. Just give me some more time to prepare everything.

Thanks, Valentin

Thanks Valentin for the pic, hope all is well my friend.

all is well, if a bit busy. Hope you are fine, too, my friend.

Cheers, Valentin

Things are great!  Valentin, glad to see you here on the forums, more pics please!

Take your time, I'm sure there are a lot of things to say...

Best, and thanks for the nice attention.

Nicolas.

granting me some time. I hope I will soon be able to finish the pictures and the report.

Best, Valentin

... we are all eagerly waiting for your next report!  Thank you for your "teaser"!

Jean-Frédéric Dufour is a real gentleman. He answered my many questions with interest and patience.

Thanks, Valentin

in Mr. Dufour's left hand? I am looking forward to your post.....

guess is spot on.

Thanks, Valentin

Can't wait for more

I like what he is holding but what do you think he is wearing??? Looks like a pitot watch? Brown strap black case? Exciting!!!

Hi JWM

Let's have a closer look:



Looks like a Split-Second Carbon to me. ;-)

Cheers, Valentin

. . . see you back at home - you have been missed. 

For those that have been here only recently, Valentin was the co-moderator of the Purists photography forum for many years.  I can assure you that his upcoming photos will be spectacular.

With anticipation, Art

Thanks a lot for the praise. I hope I will meet your expectations!

It's nice to be back home. I have anyway been lurking around all the time.

Best, Valentin

... not met our expectations, Valentin! Your visit to Beat Haldimann's Atelier is indelibly burnt into my retina.

Looking forward to more.

Andrew

kind words on my Haldimann piece. It's true that I did enjoy that visit too.

Best, Valentin

That Zenith's on Dufour's wrist looks very nice.

on Jean-Frédéric Dufour's watch.

Cheers, Valentin

maybe an annual calendar to complete the picture?

I think it is the split second with a cool brown Strap. I have only seen this with a rubber strap. I guess there are some benefits to being the president...you can mix and match straps
