IN-DEPTH: Zenith's New GFJ & The History Of The Observatoire Chronométrie Watches

@zenithwatches @watchesandwondersofficial #zenith #MONOCHROMEwatches Birthdays are to be celebrated, and Zenith is celebrating 160 years of pioneering watchmaking with a very special watch: the G.F.J. Named after the company's founder, Georges Favre-Jacot, the G.F.J. honours the brand's 160th anniversary as well as its legacy in advanced accuracy and observatory chronometric competition. The G.F.J. is a recreation of the legendary Calibre 135, which still holds the record for the most awarded movement as well as winning five consecutive first prizes between 1950 and 1954. The celebratory watch pairs an improved version of the Calibre 135-O, set in an elegant platinum case with a distinct multi-layer blue dial. Limited to 160 pieces, one for each year Zenith has been around, it is a fitting tribute to the brand's unparalleled legacy in chronometry competition. ------------- 00:00 Intro 00:41 Background 01:28 The Creation of the Calibre 135 02:38 Breaking Records 03:40 The Calibre 135 Revival 05:00 Case, Dial & Movement 05:59 Historical Legacy ------------- 2025, all rights reserved to MONOCHROME Watches.
