The way they designed the watch and the craftsmanship is incredibly super stunning

Zenith has never been the most prominent watch brand of them all but over its long history it has always made reliable and accurate watches, and pushed the industry forward. Fun fact about zenith: The soviet union copied the Zenith 135 to make the first and only Soviet chronometer movement called Vostok 2809.

Absolutely the truth. They have some outstanding collections, especially from the 50s to the 70s.

To be honest, I’ve never heard before of LIP. But if we find some day an interesting piece it could be possible.

Just checked the company on chrono, they have some pretty cool vintage pieces! And a lot of funky 70s :D

@@GoldammerVintageWatches Winston Churchill wore a LIP, thats one of its biggest claims to fame. Unfortunately it went defunct shortly after the quartz crisis. There's a brand under its name today that has some of its designs but it's not made in france anymore, so it's not really the same.

I own all the iconic vintage Zenith’s from the 50 - 60 ‘s 133 133.8 bumpers 40 T 120 T a Zenith El Primero from 1969 and a 135 in steel bought it 20 years ago for a reasonable price all serviced I love Zenith movements!

I sold my Daytona and Porsche Macan upon relocating from San Jose to Medellin. I've had economic ups and downs (mostly downs), but every morning I awaken in magical Medellin brings new pleasures and opportunities. My next watch is the rose gold Zenith El Primero 1969 with leather band. A fun watch I brought with me to Medellin is the SEIKO Model 6139 Pepsi (Pogue). It keeps time well and draws more favorable attention from more collectors than other more prestigious watches I've owned. One such watch was my Omega Speedmaster Moon watch which a former manic girlfriend from the USA ran over with her car. I much prefer the gals here in Medellin.

I really really like some of their modern watches and mostly their vintage pieces amazing watch maker.. One day I will buy a really nice 9ct or 18ct gold, preferably bark effect dress watch with Zenith '28800' on the dial.. Either in Automatic or maybe even a manual wind either one is OK I love their movements ❤
