Girls!!! Those guys will be skint after one of those >
It has been sometimes that Zenith is trying to find its new image, going from a Swiss Traditions to a sort of a fashion statement is not an easy task, and it seems that Zenith isn't for everyone anymore.
The prices!!!, ouf, well over the top for those Zenith Defy's series, as for the X-treme Tourbillon, I just can't find my words. Undoubtedly a lot of developments has gone onto these watches, a legendary Chrono, a Tourbillon and 1000 Meters, so much into something that may be short lived
Still tough a radical direction I agree, but keep or make your own identity is the key to an eventual long term success. In the recent years the BRM trend to over-design (or to roll mechanics) for an allege market found its success, personally, I would leave most of that style for those highly rated fashion brands or newcomers as opposed to gain a short lived success, but and again I am not a luxurious group needing to satisfy shareholders.
As for the those Zenith timepieces 'Defy', I think it is too much of a style and wear liability as opposed to what I would expect a Zenith Watch to be about. Frankly they aren't for me.
