Nicolas, you are very ignorant

The rationale for the tourbillon is to ensure you can lead the Zenith lifestyle like this...
 



 



"300,000 Euros? Pfffft. My sunglasses cost 500,000 Euros!"

 And when you are not on your boat...
 




You are getting ready to wage war on terror.

Basel 2008: The Zenith Defy Xtreme collection

 
 By: SJX : February 23rd, 2008-05:11
Playing the sportiness card boldly and elegantly, the Defy collection entered the ZENITH galaxy like a shooting star. This avant-garde timepiece, all power, stands for luxury and good taste but also for strength and longevity. The Classic/Xtreme duality f...  

Defy Xtreme Tourbillon Zero-G

 
 By: SJX : February 23rd, 2008-05:14
Finding the system that will do for wrist watches what the Tourbillon did for pocket watches is one of the great challenges of the 21 st Century. Since the beginning, the best watchmakers have tried to defy the effects of gravity, that sworn enemy of accu...  

Not very sure that it serves the cause of the Tourbillon

Thanks, SJX, for sharing. But I have some doubts for many years now about the direction taken by Zenith... This last watch is...well, I am ...speechless! LOL And not because I love it, or find it appealing. But, as always, tastes.... Best. Nicolas PS... I...

I should have seen these pics before typing! That why I'm happy to learn each day! One more but last question: If I buy it, I will get the girls, the boat and the plane??? Not that expensive, finally.... I'm so ignorant... Best. Nicolas

Yes!

So am I. I haven't a clue what the press release is trying to say.

Perhaps one must lead the Zenith lifestyle in order to understand. - SJX

Since Zenith dares to quote Nietzsche...

... I may follow this noble example with another important quote of the great philosopher, that he might have said when looking at this interesting zenith tourbillon: "To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity." Regards, Marcus

Defy Xtreme Stealth

Inspired by the Stealth Bombers that no radar can detect, the Defy Stealth did not in fact go unnoticed when it took the Public Award at the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie in Geneva. This year, ZENITH is pushing the boundaries even further, and presenting a n...

... the best place for this watch to remain as stealthy as possible is a vault - hidden until maybe a future generation of archealogists may discuss its sense. Regards, Marcus

Possible counterfeit Zenith Defy Xtreme Open??

 
 By: jbfrench1 : October 11th, 2009-09:29
Can anyone advise if the following version of the Defy Xtreme Open Stelath with date is genuine? I can't paste a photo here, so instead offer this link: *****PER FORUM RULES, PLEASE DO NOT LINK TO AUCTION SITES OR ITEMS THAT ARE LISTED FOR SALE**** In the... 

It is difficult to verify from the auction images

 
 By: SJX : October 11th, 2009-22:02
The only way to be certain is to purchase from an authorised dealer, or from an online dealer that you know and trust well. - SJX

I'm crying and not just for Zenith....

...as they are far from being alone and unique! It also reminds us where others could finish (finish is the word IM and sad O). Cheers Dje
