With the departure of Aldo Magada and the arrival of (interim) CEO Jean-Claude Biver, I believe it is high time for us to consider the areas needing significant improvement. Zenith is a brand that almost exclusively relies on one single - albeit significa...
I am one of those people mentioned who would like to have and El Primero movement is the collection. But haven't taken a fancy to any Zenith watch is over a decade.
I support most of them. However, it contains a strategy for the next 15 years... ;-) The foremost most important point is: Zenith needs to make money again in order to reinvest it for the improvement of the general value proposition you described so well....
It seems that JCB does not want to change to much on the products side, and more on the communication side: Here a brandnew interview from NZZ, also regarding Zenith\'s strategy: It seems difficult to post links here...
I agree If it were up to me, the ultra-top high end would not need to be continued. Marvellous watches without doubt, but not ‘Zeniths’. Zenith is part of LVMH group, so they might share resources and technologies. No reasons to "fight" each other, so ass...
As Zenith has certainly established its technical prowess, providing a modern "twist" to the El Primero would certainly be a step in the right direction, but one that mostly only established connoisseurs would appreciate. My pragmatic side concedes that m...
for an interesting moment of Zenith's life. First, I think there really is a difference between people going that deep into the watch world, reading about watches on the net, and the other type of clients which have never cared about going any further tha...

To me there's so much under exploited quality and value in Zenith's current catalogue that marketing strategy and repositioning of the brand will certainly help greatly. I hope we see a new Zenith emerge, and the idea of a totally new evolution of the El ...
This is so true Zenith has probably on off the most interesting histories in watchmaking Maybe the most important. It does not have the prestige we find a for example patek but they don\'t need too Indeed, if you look at all the contests and prizes zenith...
But it won\'t be easy. To sell well here: it must be a status symbol, it must be more widely available, it must be advertised, it must be written up in men\'s style and executive lifestyle magazines, and it must be reasonably serviceable. Nataf was the on...
The brand "Zenith" to watch collectors represents reliability and accuracy, a fairly high percentage of components of an entire watch are manufactured in-house. Needless to say there is a rich history in horology but you are right about the brand. The fac...
A very worthy post on the current position of Zenith. In the UK it seems Zenith really doesn't seem to capture the imagination of the Omega and Rolex buying public like it should, with the heritage behind it (I could say the same for Longines, just look a...
