Zenith has already had an exciting 2024, with the release of a titanium Chronomaster Sport, and a full calendar Chronomaster Original – all before Watches & Wonders. Zenith takes a unique approach to preserving their heritage alongside their modern collections, and joining us to discuss this task is the brand’s Head of Heritage, Laurence Bodenmann. In this episode, Laurance gives us a deep dive on Zenith’s history, with a few inspiring stories along the way.
Zenith has recently welcomed a new CEO, Benoit de Clerck who is replacing the outgoing Julien Tornare (who is heading over to TAG Heuer). How this will affect their approach remains to be seen, but most importantly, people like Bodemann remain serving as the foundation to their modern approach to preserving their history.
Keep an eye out for hands-on impressions of the new Zenith watches coming soon, as well as full covering of the brand’s new releases at the upcoming Watches & Wonders show happening in Geneva from April 9th.
