In particular I like the structured 3D dial. What I would question is the type of font they have used. It is a modern, "forward looking" watch - somehow the font represent the opposit. Probably the wanted to give it also a minimal vintage aspect?

Actually I do not hope so!

I rather hope that watches become smaller and more wearable again... For this Zenith does not need a new movement ;-)

Thank you Magnus for your review on a really interesting proposal. Let me explain why I find the E.P. T.T. original and coherent. It's original because the package made up of high speed tourbillon + chronograph + titanium case (not DLC coated - hurrah!) +...
