Grande Port Royal Tourbillon
Zenith Grande Port Royal TourbillonThe unusual design is breathtaking : inspired by the martial arts, the bridge of the tourbillon and chronograph counters resemble a target. The dial itself is covered by the same grid pattern, in black gold, protecting the sapphire glass. In the spaces, the chequered lines actually incised into the movement can be seen. Rather than a watch, this is a true sculpture to the glory of one of the greatest watch complications, the tourbillon. The tourbillon, intended to eliminate the effects of gravity by enclosing the heart of the movement in a rotating cage, is to watchmaking what Formula 1 is to cars. At ZENITH, the achievement is all the more remarkable in that over 50 hours of reserve are required whilst still producing enough energy to power not only the El Primero chronograph with its 36,000 vibrations but also the revolutions of the tourbilon cage. This is the El Primero 4007, a veritable feat of kinetics encased in black titanium; the weightlessness of the case contrasts singularly with the weight of the watchmaking knowhow inside. And this is precisely what makes the Grande Port Royal Tourbillon stand out from the crowd : daringly, a great watchmaking classic has been built into a body made of avant-garde materials that are highly resistant, ultra-light yet very robust. The resulting timepiece expresses this unusual combination: it is Mozart interpreted by Moby. black titanium.
