Zenith was created in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot, who, at age 22, was one of the first watchmakers to understand the importance of the principle of interchangeable parts.
It's said that one night after Jacot finished a movement he considered almost perfection he went out and looked at the stars and he felt the stars almost speak to him. He saw the gigantic constellation turning around the Pole star similar in the complexity to the movements of the pivots and the wheels on their axes. He decided then to call his new movement and its manufacture after the word that designates the highest point in the universe, ZENITH, the star was adopted as a brand symbol as it is still today.
By the time Jacot stopped working in 1929, Zenith had made watch history, winning grand prix medals for timekeeping precision at international expositions in Geneva, Paris, Barcelona, and Neuchatel.
In 1969, the company gained renown for introducing the world's first automatic chronograph movement, the El Primero. Oscillating at 36,000 alternations/hour, the El Primero was able to measure short intervals to a tenth of a second, an unsurpassed world record.
In 1995, Zenith launched a new generation of ultra-thin chronographs, the Elite, recently voted best mechanical movement by the professional press.
Since its beginning, Zenith has been recognized with more than 1,565 first observatory prizes in chronometry, making it the Swiss brand most rewarded for precision.

Saves $58,000, what a deal!,
By Zeeshan Hamid (Milton, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zenith Men's 96.0529.4035/51.M Defy Xtreme Tourbillon Titanium Chronograph Watch (Watch)
I wasn't going to buy this watch, but then I noticed Amazon had it with $58,000 off! What a deal. With the money I saved I purchased a brand new BMW and still had money left over for a Disney vacation. How many watches save you money to buy a car and a vacation?
Now whenever I see someone with money troubles I tell them to buy this watch and save $58,000. I am considering buying 10 of these watches so I can save $580,000 and buy a house on cash. Retirement saving is also no longer a concern for me, as I plan to buy one every year and live off the $58,000 I save.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great watch, but not without shortcomings,
By Cletus (cooterville) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zenith Men's 96.0529.4035/51.M Defy Xtreme Tourbillon Titanium Chronograph Watch (Watch)
I decided to splurge on myself, at christmas. Noticing that the price had dropped on this watch, I figured it was time to purchase...time.Man, this watch is awesome, does everything it's supposed to do, is dead on accurate, attractive etc. Really, for the watch itself - 5 stars. But it's imperfect, in it's perfection. It's TOO accurate. So now my phone rings, like... everyday. Some dude from the International Meridian Conference, in Greenwich, UK. "What time do YOU have?" Every freakin' day. And really early in the morning, too. I was all "Geezus, do you KNOW what time it is?" the first couple of times they woke me up, until I realized that... they didn't. "GMT is an absolute time reference" my *ss. My wrist is apparently the "absolute time reference" now. Which is a lot of power for one person to wield. And I AM only human, even when I'm wearing the watch. I was feeling lazy the other morning, and didn't feel like rushing out of the house, and I confess I abused the power. So when they called, I told them it was actually 17 minutes, 28 seconds EARLIER than it really was. Messed things up, but good, for the rest of the planet (sorry!), but i got to finish the paper and have a second cup of coffee, and didn't get docked for being late when I got to the office. So - totally worth it. No worries, though. I have a plan. I'll gradually put those 17 minutes and 28 seconds BACK, over a 2 week span of phone calls. Because my watch says that I CAN.

Best Watch Ever!,
By Jon McAwesome (Awesomeville, SC (pop. 1)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zenith Men's 96.0529.4035/51.M Defy Xtreme Tourbillon Titanium Chronograph Watch (Watch)
The Zenith Men's Defy Xtreme Tourbillon Titanium Chronograph Watch or Z.M.D.X.T.B.T.C.M. as I like to call it, is by far the most awesome watch. Chuck Norris riding into the Super Bowl on the back of Godzilla and round house kicking the crowd is no where near as awesome as this priceless poon magnet. When I was just moments from sending my $100k to some needy neo-hippie help group, I stumbled onto this gem. It was like the heavens opened and Jesus himself appeared with this same watch on. I mean how can you not follow Jesus when he's rocking a watch of this caliber. So I asked "What would Jesus do?" Jesus pimp smacked me and said "Forget those hippies, buy the watch!" I was like "HECK YEAH." I busted out my Discover card and bought this rocking piece of art. I mean its art but its also practical too. Like when I take my summer trips to the Marianas Trench, I have no more worries that I am going to miss Tea Time back on the yacht, because water ruined my watch again. It can withstand the immense pressures of the deep due to the wicked awesome titanium. Deep seas, cant beat this. Bullets cant beat this. Heck, I can deflect cruise missiles and the apocalypse. With a watch like this you don't need to tell time, you tell people what time it is.
