nadir and zenith

I love watches with somewhat magical and stellar qualities, that's why I love this Baby Star Sea Open Elite Precious Diamonds from Zenith. The star theme reminds me of my childhood fantasy of wanting to be near a star, although it is scientifically impossible (or possible?), its fun to think of stars as beautiful twinkling friends we have that hang bring in the sky.This watch from Zenith reflects its fine experience in watch making, competing with the top Swiss watchmakers. The watch's movement is automatic, with a 32mm white gold case, while the bezel is crafted from gleaming pieces of diamonds and stainless steel. It can also resist water pressure under 100 meters of 330 feet.The exuberant watch isn't only pleasing due to its beauty, it is also very trusty in terms of durability and function.

Since 2001 the very flamboyant Thierry Nataf has been at the helm of Zenith watches, part of the LVMH luxury group. He has undoubtedly had a profound effect on the brand, though his 'touch' has been controversial, especially in terms of marketing and the focus on extremely niche products for what was supposed to be a more mainstream luxury brand. The recent economic downturn has effectuated in an over 25% decrease in Zenith watch sales - something no one is happy about. The reason for Nataf's departure from the CEO position at Zenith watches is unclear, and rumors indicate that he will remain at LVMH, but in a different group (who watch brands include Tag Heuer, Hublot, Dior, and Louis Vuitton). The successor who will lead Zenith through this difficult economic period has not yet been announced. It will no doubt take sometime before the new leader's effect on the brand is observable, but I hope that LVMH is wise enough to place someone capable of reinvigorating Zenith's former glory.
