CEO Julien Tornare will present you in this video the following watches:
- Zenith DEFY Midnight
- Zenith Elite Classic
- Zenith Elite Moonphase
- Zenith A384 Revival
- Zenith DEFY 21 Land Rover Edition
- Zenith DEFY 21 Carl Cox
Zenith embarked on the debut edition of LVMH Watch Week in Dubai with a new kind of innovation in its DEFY collection... E.g. the DEFY Midnight, a uniquely conceived line of women’s watches with a dreamy, cosmic touch. In addition, the new Elite collection redefines the codes of 21st century watchmaking for the ultimate in contemporary elegance and last but not least there is the A384 Revival chronograph ...
Zenith CEO Julien Tornare told me: “I’m very grateful that Zenith is in Dubai for the first edition of LVMH Watch Week - DUBAI 2020, which I believe is the new international destination for the world of watchmaking. Glamorous and forward- thinking at the same time, Dubai is the perfect place to present an innovative collection of feminine watches. We are placing women’s watches at the forefront of the brand’s creative endeavors. But we weren’t content with making yet another ladies’ watch. With our newest models, it is the first time that Zenith has conceived women’s watches from the ground up”.
This is what Stéphane, Bianchi CEO of LVMH Watchmaking Divison & CEO of of TAG Heuer and Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari told me in Dubai: "We are delighted to introduce the LVMH watch week in Dubai and showcase the exceptional strength, creativity and innovation of the group’s watchmaking brands, Bvlgari, Hublot, TAG Heuer and Zenith. The four maisons are joining forces to present their 2020 product novelties and offer key international media, retail partners and clients a unique brand experience, in a new format that is a testament to the unparalleled sense of hospitality and service of the LVMH brands. Our ambition is for the LVMH watch week to be a significant business and image driver for our maisons this year, and a complement to other strategic brand moments such as Baselworld 2020."
Please discover the first novelties 2020 that were presented this week in Dubai...

WatchAdvisor thanks a lot for the comment. I work in a big multinational company (automotive), and i know perfectly the work that is behind a product. More than the product itself I like to see how companies set their staregies, the vision they have, the effort they put to compete in this very competitive global market. I like that zenith doesn't have fear, they set budgets to lunch innovative products. I see a company that has willing to play the game. On the other way, Rolex play the game in the opposite direction. As consumer, I am more excited about Zenith behavior, because you can expect they release very exciting watches and I am really bored about Rolex. On the other hand I understand that keeping the leadership as nr1 seller it's hard and they prefere to keep their production limited, no discounts, and increase the turnover not selling more watches but just increasing the retail price. Vicius strategy for consumers but as long as the market go crazy for their watches...i can just admire their marketing capability. So, good luck Zenith. Your CEO gave me a very good impression and I saw many CEOs from different industries

If you'd be so kind, can you please also ask Mr. Tornare if he'd be willing to add/include a minute track (with seconds markers) for the chronograph second hand, so one can actually use the chronograph function to time things in seconds? I'm guessing they negated it because they wanted as clean a dial as possible, but the minute track on the somewhat similar "A384 Revival Lupin the third edition" didn't harm the visual aesthetic of that watch, so I don't think it would harm it on this one, either...and it's a necessary feature on a chronograph. I've actually seen the Revival Shadow in the metal and had it on my wrist, and it's a great looking watch. It just needs a minute track. It'll still be beautiful and cool with it included.

Illuminating interview. Zenith are a brand with great heritage, that lost its way and is trying hard to move in the right direction. But ironically I think they are stylistically dated beyond their classic models. Still too many large, ostentatious (Defy) pieces, reminiscent of Hublot. This is typified by misreading the female market: "Women asked for something smaller; we gave them the 36mm!" So, a traditional men's size. 36mm is a big watch for most average sized women. The equivalent of a 42 or more for most men. That's a huge size for a small bezel watch, similar to an IWC Portugese. Stars and diamonds? Not so modern! Watch makers don't want to produce smaller movements so are palming customers off with unisex sizes. Mens watches getting smaller, women's getting bigger - snakes and ladders marketing! Now, that A384 is a beautiful, fine piece. But that clasp? Authentic. Yes. Cheap? Yes. Cool? No. It has no place on a watch of this calibre. The watch is not entirely an authentic remake anyway - sapphire crystal etc, so why carry over a part best consigned to history. Also, I think 100m water resist would be more appropriate for a modern sports reference. But, I wish Zenith good fortune, the watch world would be the less without them.

A bit late to this, as have just purchased the watch in question with the bracelet in question, and have to agree with you. It has modern updates like the sapphire front and back, so as you quite rightly say, why not have a modern clasp? Still, it’s not noticed when wearing and is actually the most comfortable bracelet clasp in my collection, so that’s something I guess 🤷♂️

The A384 is nice, but the other small Defy for women, no way, every women will prefer a cheaper 36mm Rolex date. The Land Rover collaboration drab green Defy, my goodness, Zenith are just out of ideas and only 250... be lucky if they sell that many, but they will probably "go" eventually. But I just can't help but think the management of LVMH imposed their whim on this guy. Whenever I see a Hublot, Tag or Zenith, I always have to look at the dial for the brand name because they all kind of look the same.

steven uk1 Interesting read, thanks for sharing! You are right with the Rolex when it is about a status symbol for the wrist. Then of course she will prefer the Oyster. When it is about class, style, individual taste and so on, the Zenith outperforms the Rolex by far... Concerning the very similar design I can tell you this will change again rapidly. The three brands will again get more USP ...

steven uk1 My wife is certainly more interested in the Zenith. Look at it. The Rolex is I inspired and plain, but to each his or her own.

I like the Carl Cox El Primero shown at 13:07. I find very cool the running seconds vinyl record style, the green composite case, the matching dark green of the skeleton movement, the red and yellow accents ... even the orange note of the strap, gives the watch a fun / sporty factor. I would like to know more about that composite case, I believe it must be very light, What about its resistance?,. May be for future reviews. That was my "Wow", I like that piece a lot.

gmshadowtraders They indeed could have done more, but the question is how it would have looked and if the chronograph hast enough power to turn discs and how to destroy the energy when you press the reset-button. Imagine how much energy goes into such a dial and what micro-devices you need to have to again kill the energy once the dial has reached its zero-position
