I applause Zenith for thinking outside of the escape wheel. Well done

This makes me appreciate the humble quartz movements even more.

Super interesting. I saw this announcement on my Instagram and was shocked to see such a leap in an industry powered by tradition. Great report Marc. I expected nothing less than this amazing video from Watches TV.

It's fascinating that, despite these being arcane and outdated machines for measuring time, there are still revolutionary new ideas like the Spring Drive and now this Defy Lab.

It was about time Zenith got some recognition. Another chapter in the horological history. Great work, Zenith!

God bless Jean Claude for having the spirit of advancing the art of mechanical watchmaking. Also, well deserved exclusive for your channel!

I was heartbroken when I found out this was already 3 years old. But I agree; traditional watchmaking combined with new technology is pure magic. Compliant mechanical design, Topology optimisation and generative design Additive manufacturing. These will be key elements in future mechanical engineering and design, regardless of discipline.

And this is precisely why I think you have the best watch channel going. Well done sir.

Mind blown, Marc! First video I have seen by you and definitely won't best the last. And that movement... Simon + JCB + Zenith = the future of tradition... A lot of geniuses at work. No gimmicks - just unbelievable ingenuity.

I'm just glad to live in this century, to see this. Many thanks for this monumental report Mark.

Marc your reports are the best on the planet! Hope that you are getting the credit and success you deserve.

Excellent video as usual. Zenith is going to knock it out of the park at Baselworld next year. I just hope that I can afford to pick up one of their next-generation watches with this technology!

Great video! Zenith kicks ass! Still can't believe that it is such an underappreciated company in "mainstream" market.

This is an outstanding achievement! What another beautiful triumph of Western Science! I imagine that pretty soon -- say in 2 or 3 years -- such wondrous horological technology will be available to watch afficionados at an accessible cost. I definitely would love to acquire any watch with the new technology. MAD, I congratulate you for such an excellent presentation!

im so happy zenith is doing well, i can see there place in lelocle from my window and its great when a lelocle company does well

Yet again 10 steps ahead of other watch vlogs for new content & news. Love it.

its awesome to see that even after so many years of watchmaking theres still room for innovation such as this!

I was waiting the last couple of days for THIS video. Thanks. Good Job (as always) What a great movement. Mr . Biver pushes every Brand to the limit.

This type of innovative thinking, to me, is very inspirational. Many thank's to you for presenting it to us so well, Marc André.

Really a historic moment. It's not every day when you see something actually ground-breaking and truly innovative. This new regulation mechanism is a marvelous human's ingenuity achievement. It reduces complexity, greatly improves accuracy, enhances power reserve, consumes less energy, even has a nice style! Congratulations to the team. I remember when Mr. Jean-Claude Biver said he had in his office a magical novelty. He was not joking.

Wow, 15Hz? :O Amazing tech and amazing video/cover, Marc! Congrats! Keep it coming... :)

This is probably one of the most fascinating watch videos I've ever seen on your channel or anybody else's channel for that matter! Thank you and keep up the great work!

What fascinates me is that in the world of watchmaking is always coming with novelties and new technological solutions.

It seems that we are at the brink of a revolution in applying science and technology to traditional watchmaking !

My gosh. This changes everything...

Thank you for giving us behind the scene for this revolutionary piece!

This is amazing... 15 Hz, 70 hours reserve, bout 1000 G's of shock resistance, less components... what else a guy wants??? This is a true revolution in watchmaking mechanics in years. I wish I was a part of that project team, great work. And the video is amazing... I wonder how many patents they've filed so far with this...?

Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo et le partage du savoir ! C'est de loin le report le plus complet sur le sujet ! Continuez !!!

As Neil Armstrong would put it: "That's one small step for a brand, one giant leap for the watchmaking industry". As always you have presented us with the best report about this very intricate new technology in watchmaking. I had the pleasure to hear about it in early May at a Collectors Dinner with Mr. Biver and Anish, but it has exceeded my wildest expectations. This as you said will surely prolong the live of mechanical watchmaking and the possibilities within. Cheers from Olten, Giacomo

really a historical mark in watch making, thanks for this great video!!

I am utterly amazed by this new technology! Fantastic!

mind blowing! It will be interesting to see what this team of geniuses comes up in the future too

A breakthrough from my favorite watch brand? Awesome! A video from you guys about it? Fantastic! Thank you for all you do!

Now this is what I would call a new caliber! So many of the so called new calibers coming out of the watch companies these days are not new at all. They are just minor variations on existing mechanical designs and do nothing new in terms of accuracy, efficiency, etc. This is truly an innovative mechanical movement design. It will be exciting to see it evolve.

WOW, just WOW !! So very cool. Merci beaucoup Marc André !!

Just amazing!! J'ai vu l'interview avec Mr. Sémon et c'est vraiement incroyable, en plus, une jolie mini-histoire du développement de l'horlogerie, la mécanique et la science. So precious. Thanks for uploading.

Fascinating video, Marc. I can’t wait to see the long term effects this has on the watch industry! Please keep us posted.

Depuis le temps qu'on attendait cette présentation... J.C. Biver n'attendait que cela depuis des mois. Very good and complete report on a great technology!

It must be incredibly exiting to be an eye witness of such an historical development! 😮👍

Mr. B is awesome! Thank you for the excellent report Marc. As always.

Hats off to Biver...again, what better way to revive struggling Zenith

"Silicon Valley meets the mountains" - Steve Jobs meets Heidi! LOL. You have an amazing way with words (and your not even a native speaker). Very impressive! It's always a pleasure listening to your presentations. Thank you.

Oh damn marc... I have a new colleague who worked for Zenith. Im so exited to tell him about this.. This is amazing!!

Such a lovely host and thanks for the video, awesome info and the presentation is super fun...

This is just the beginning for this technology. Very exciting! Wish I spoke French. Would love to hear the brilliant man behind this innovation. Mind stimulating STUFF! Thanks again

Not just fascinating but a very professional quality video. Great stuff.

Fantastic stuff "silicon valley meets the mountain" I love it! What 1789 is to history this new technology is to watchmaking!

Enfin une vraie nouveauté! Merci pour cette explication Bravo pour cette chaîne

Exciting times in watchmaking! Even though accuracy is not what drives high horology collectors nowadays this is definitively an important milestone for Zenith and maybe for the whole industry moving forward. Looking forward to seeing how this technology will be evolving moving forward. Best

Great as usual. I look forward to each and every one of your videos.

This is so cool, it reminds me about mems technology, where springs are etched in silicone for gyros or accelerometer. Nice to see we still can think out of the box.

That is lovely, these guys should come up with a movement every year.

I loughed out loud so many times. What a great video. Thank you!

This is really exciting to see the level of innovation that is still possible in the Swiss watch making industry!

Very, Very good job on this video, Thank You for making it. Zenith has a rich horological history and has done so many amazing things over the years. I find this new development fascinating and I'm looking forward to seeing where it leads. CHEERS, Kenny

Thanks Marc for the more in depth view. Very informative. Wish I could have gotten one of the first runs.....they will be VERY valuable in just a few years.

Yes! more news! Thank you for bringing this to us. Can't wait for this release yet alone those other 2 mysteries you mentioned :)

Amazing.As always you are the one when it comes to watches and information.

This looks like a pretty important step in horological terms......now I could say I understood every word you said Marc,but I would be lying.Thanks for this very interesting update.I must say it always pays to have friends in high places!

Incredible! Great video - a true revolution, and I can't way to see the next steps.

Thank you so much for sharing with us.There are still some inspiration for those who seek new ideas but they have exercised and put thru trial which innovation and persistent out of the box thinking can equal breakthroughs such as this Gentleman here.So cheers to you Sir! My ancestors on the onset of the industrial revolution were inspired to improve time keeping and it was then the challenge was accomplished.When inspired x challenged x persistence = success.keep up your good work The clock is no longer ticking its floating.Charles.E Huggins Jr

It just doesn't have the hand-made, time, effort and love of a handmade watch. It looks like a production watch, but if you're appreciating watches, only for their accuracy and power reserve, then this watch can be your cup of tea! :)

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this with us! Love this channel!!!

Another stunning video! Thanks very much for sharing this! Paul

WAIT.... Stop everything now. I was going to pay for one of these and there is no more... I thought the giant leaps in mechanical watchmaking were already done now. Just little things here and there and of course some eccentricities by some indie watchmakers (MB&F, Greubel, and you name it)... now this... really amazing. Waiting to see one of this in nature. really quite an extraordinary thing. Thanks for sharing it.

Your videos are truly priceless & add so much to our love of horology. Your a true gentleman, thank you !!!!!

Great work as always.

Relly nice video. I have seen the presentation via facebook, but i still had to much questions. Your video has helped me a lot. This is the type of video I watch more than once. Great job, I knew you were going to give us an stunning report.

Amazing technology. Thank you for this detailed and clear explanation. I want this in an El Primero!

Great video Marc. Lovely to see this! Saw you at Dubai watch week. Keep up the good work!

Fascinating technology. Old principles made to work today. Enjoy these videos.

Definitivamente es el mejor canal de relojería !!

Great background story ! Thanks for showing us this New achivment ! 🙏🙏👍

Hvala za video, sa uživanjem sam ga gledao. Samo napred i svaka čast.

Bravo on a great breakthrough! Nice background on the relationship of watchmakers and engineers, it really seems an integral symbiosis for the development of new mechanisms and innovative movements. Looking forward to seeing more of this... and yes, the drones at the launch; lol!

That was a fabulous video.!made fairly complicated concepts easy to understand.

I’m watching this 2 years after the fact and it is still fascinating. Too bad this technology hasn’t made it into current production lines yet.

Luv you work Marc, best on the Net.

WOW ! .. this beats even the Breguet's Transatlantique's 10hz..... which I thought it's crazy to achieve !!! Wondering if the low energy of the oscillator will limit the number of complications ? This is crazy! Thanks for the awesome video Mark !

Thanks for the best and most detailed explanation of this development I have found. I actually get it now, as much as a layman can anyways.

Impressive, looking forward to own one of this

Very exciting! Look forward to seeing this technology make it to Zenith's mass production. Love my Zenith El Primero 411 movement and this is a huge step for the brand. This should put them ahead of the pack of the mass production brands, like the El Primero did in 1969.

Amazing. Well done!!!!

Amazing! Great reporting as usual! Thanks

You are doing an amazing job giving us these very high quality videos..just like the swiss watches😊..keep up the good work..your fan from India!

My favorite watch brand of all! One day i hope i can afford to buy an el primero chronomaster 1969. Until then ill just admire the brand and their watches here on your channel.

Goodbye Seiko. Hello Zenith! :-) Great report, Marc!

An absolutely great video but there's one thing missing: An example on how this clockwork sounds outside and inside a clock housing. I can imagine its rattling considered how fast it was. Like a: drrrrrrrrrrrr sound.

Great report as usual but also a historical achivement as you have pointed out.

what an interesting video... thanks as usual

Wonderful video . Enjoyed it greatly and this time understood it.Thank you very much for such a fantastic and educational video.

Great work and very detailed explanation, very enjoyable! Thank you.

A new video about how it's moving in going in the market (or not going) would be nice. Thanks for the content, the best watch channel on yt.

Awesome video as always!

Once again Marc, you stepped up with the best explanation vide about this cutting edge, super accurate, next gen movement from Zenith; FANTASTIC and thank you! 🤘 I watched the livestream but I think this video is an amazing summary of the tech and ideology behind the Defy Lab piece. I would have liked to have heard a bit more about the Hubolt's involvement with the Zenith Defy Lab, in particular the crazy case made for it (only Hubolt could make cases like this ha ha!), but perhaps a follow up video to talk about the timepiece as a whole? Thank you again for your superb explanations and mastery of speaking! 😄⌚💓

Mr. Mad I really don't have a clue what you just said but I can see some cool technology that could be something big for the industry.

.Super inspiring innovation.

That's really impressive! Although I must admit that the thing that shocked me the most was the breguet 7727 with the balancier rotating on one single pinion in a magnetic field. I feel so excited about all these crazy novelties, and I wonder how mechanical watches will be in 10 years. Thank you again thewatches.tv, there are different watch sources that I follow, but your channel is truly the most interesting, I never miss an episode ;) come one day to visit us in ZeitZentrum

Je suis un passionné d'horlogerie et cette nouvelle technologie est fort intéressante mais bien sûr, le quartz manufacturé et mis en marché sérieusement par Seiko au début des années 70 et d'autres technologies telles le mouvement à "tuning fork" introduit par Bulova dans les années 60 et qui avait été sérieusement étudié par la Nasa pour ses missions spatiales mais non retenue du fait de la fragilité du mouvement... ces technologies avaient déjà révolutionné le mouvement classique du "tic-tac", donc, pas de panique à bord. Toutefois, cette dernière technologie fait appel à une source d'énergie toujours mécanique basée sur un ressort tel qu'on la retrouve dans toutes les montres mécaniques contrairement au quartz qui est animée par une batterie et c'est là qu'est le génie de cette technologie et qui fait qu'elle passionne les amateurs d'horlogerie. Bravo aux ingénieurs de Zénith et bonne chance à la compagnie dans cette aventure commerciale à venir !

Marc, this is truly a great video and an amazing technological breakthrough. When the IsoSpring movement is fitted in a wristwatch in the future (hopefully), I can't wait for your take on it!
