zenith academy open minute replic

Just like how other Zenith watches are known, this Academy TOurbillon El Primero watch is display of their watch making skill through its movement's complication and its luxurious presentation.The beauty of the mechanical movement El Primero 4041 caliber of this Zenith watch can be seen on the tourbillon cage located on the 11 o'clock position which is slightly covered by the oversized Roman numeral XI. Aside from that, you can also see part of its movement through the center of the dial which reveals some of the movement's gears. Along with these are oversized Roman numeral hour numbers and markers placed on the silver dial. This movement and dial are housed in an elegant 18 carat white gold case along with the leveled bezel. This case is matched with an alligator strap with white gold clasp.Although this watch has a sole function of indicating the time, it will still be irresistible to have because of its display of amazing engineering and elegant design. This watch is truly a collectors' item.

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.
