ZENITH THE STAR OF TOMORROW For over 150 years, Zenith s history has been made with the stuff of modernity. Its watchmaking expertise, full of innovation and daring, and its forward-looking spirit form the Swiss Manufacture s identity. Just like its founder Georges Favre-Jacot in 1865, the Zenith brand is living the 21st century ahead of time. Bolstered by the iconic El Primero, Zenith s vision of mechanical watchmaking is entering a ground-breaking new era: that of ultra-precision. Blending advanced technology and traditional watchmaking art, its elegant and timeless watches are the product of unique manufacture expertise. They serve as palpable proof that tradition has a bright future at the Manufacture. > 2 3 <

A pioneering spirit Zenith's thirst for improvement and innovation dates back to the very beginning 1865 to be exact. In Le Locle, in the mountains of Neuchâtel, 22-year-old trailblazer Georges Favre-Jacot founded a unique watch workshop. His aim was to produce a watch in its entirety. Yet in the 19 th century, movement components were manufactured by a number of decentralised watchmakers. For the first time, he brought all of the watch professions together under a single roof, working in vast workshops bathed with light. In doing so, the visionary entrepreneur created the first industrial watch manufacture in the modern sense of the word. Now, 150 years later, this team spirit is more relevant than ever. As a genuine watch innovation platform, the Zenith Manufacture now draws on the LVMH group's best experts and researchers to develop and design the mechanical movements of tomorrow. Striving for accuracy Forever at the forefront of chronometric performance as attested by its new 100 th of a second El Primero 21 chronograph movement certified by TIME LAB, Zenith has made accuracy an uncompromising quality requirement since the beginning. In the 19 th century, the joining of expertise and production techniques instigated by its founder Georges Favre-Jacot enabled it to make considerable advances in terms of reliability and accuracy. So much so that between 1903 and the end of the 1960s the golden age of chronometry competitions Zenith won 2333 awards, filed over 300 patents and designed many movements created in some 600 versions. This never-ending quest for performance was enhanced by remarkable technical innovations, such as the "Gravity Control" gyroscopic module or the fusee-chain transmission, both of which ensure peerless accuracy. > 4 5 <

Once an icon, forever an icon On 10 January 1969, Zenith made its stellar contribution to the history of contemporary watchmaking. The Manufacture premièred its now legendary El Primero calibre ("the first" in Esperanto), an integrated automatic column-wheel chronograph beating to the high-frequency of 36,000 vibrations/hour (5 Hz) accurate to the nearest tenth of a second. El Primero remains the world's most accurate series-made chronograph to date. This gold standard would be continually perfected and enhanced with new functions to take Zenith into the era of ultra-precision, with the new Defy El Primero 21 derived from this original model. Oscillating at 50 Hz, this superior high-frequency piece boosts the performance of the legendary line tenfold, displaying the hundredths of a second with a central hand. The first fruits of a star-studded renewal. The future of tradition As a major player in the Swiss watch industry, Zenith draws on genuine manufacture expertise and superlative craftsmanship. Today and yesterday, the Manufacture lives in the present, its sights firmly fixed on the horizon. This innovative spirit gives rise to new technical and creative partnerships within the LVMH group and forges the brand's chic and accessible vision of Haute Horlogerie. The icons of its destiny inspire modern and stylish creations with iconic status. Zenith's timeless watches boast the inimitable style of age-old heritage that looks to the future. Incorporating manufacture movements, noble and high-tech materials, and harmonious neo-retro lines, they bring the identity of a traditional brand in line with current times. As lovers of uniquely designed fine mechanics can clearly see, Zenith's watches are the future. > 6 7 <

DEFY THE FUTURE OF TRADITION The innovation-driven new DEFY collection is distinguished by a startup spirit powerfully expressed through models focused on performance and precision, such as the the revolutionary Defy El Primero 21 taking the mechanical chronograph into the 100 th of a second era; and the Defy Lab, the world s most accurate mechanical watch. From three-hand to Grand Complication watches, this dynamic range spans various levels of architectural complexity. A gateway into this sophisticated futuristic universe, the new Defy Classic takes casual urban elegance to a whole new level. At the other end of the spectrum, the new Defy Zero G challenges the laws of physics with a cleverly downsized and fine-tuned Gravity Control gyroscopic module. > 10 11 <

CHRONOMASTER AN ICON WORN ON THE WRIST The Chronomaster is immediately recognisable. Its imposing yet elegant stature, emblematic display design and high-frequency mechanism durably inscribe this piece in the Manufacture s identity. These technical and aesthetic attributes, produced in a number of inimitable variations, come from the legendary El Primero line, the world s most accurate series - made chronograph, designed by Zenith in 1969. Emblematic of high precision, this automatic integrated column-wheel chronograph beats to the furious rhythm of 5 Hz, offering a 1/10th second display. A generous case, round push-pieces, faceted and luminescent indices and hands, and a fine star-tipped sweep-seconds hand give it the iconic style that blends power and refinement characteristic of Zenith. Worn by keen aesthetes who love fine mechanisms with a fiery spirit, this sport-chic watch finishes off a masculine outfit with classic, stylish accents. > 30 31 <
