Original and coherent

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!) + sporty overall look is simply unique, at least at this price range. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
It's coherent because nothing looks out of place. I'd say that the designers successfully faced serious challenges such as the small calibre diameter, the unusual date display, the addition of a tourbillon in a sporty context, the necessary balance between the dial and the case, both of them with a strong personality.
At the end, I have to say this watch attracts me: it's a remarkable fact, because I like none of the open dial Zeniths and in general I prefer the tourbillon cage not to be visible from the front.
This time Zenith has made a nice job, don't you think?
Ciao,
Elio

The titanium case is a standout element, as it is with the George Favre Jacot. Zenith has done an excellent job, designing a good-looking watch around this tourbillon calibre. Compare this dial to the Nataf-era iterations and it is like night and day. The...
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 ;-)
I guess at Zenith there always will eb an El Primero...

but I am sure (SURE!!!!) that they are working on something new, a true successor. That is, given the innovation in the industry recently, an impressive task to achieve. I have no clue when it will come, but I am sure it will. Even Blancpain has reworked ...
