Le Locle, July 3, 2024: As the days get longer and mercury rises, ZENITH is celebrating the summer season with the first-ever DEFY Skyline model in white ceramic, paired with a blue skeleton movement and dial for the perfect aestival touch.

A modern successor to the very first ZENITH DEFY wristwatch model from 1969, the DEFY Skyline seamlessly merges the past and present with bold architectural lines and unwavering robustness that are the hallmarks of the line. With this new edition, the DEFY Skyline Skeleton combines the symmetrical, open movement and dial with a pristine white ceramic exterior – a first for the DEFY Skyline collection. With alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces, the highly scratch-resistant white ceramic case and dodecagonal bezel offer a striking rendition of the all-occasions DEFY silhouette. With a water-resistance of 10 ATM (100 metres), there isn’t a summertime activity that the DEFY Skyline Skeleton in White Ceramic can’t handle.

Perfectly complementing this new DEFY Skyline Skeleton’s white ceramic exterior is its intense blue open dial and skeleton movement. Constantly shifting with the light and revealing different nuances of blue, the open dial takes on the form of ZENITH’s famous four-pointed star from 1969, a recurring motif in the story of the DEFY range. It reveals the open El Primero 3620 SK movement beneath, which has also been finished in ZENITH’s signature blue tone recalling the night sky. In lieu of a traditional seconds dial, the DEFY Skyline features the world’s first and only constant 1/10th of a second running indicator, completing one rotation every 10 seconds (and serving as a gentle reminder to make every moment count this summer).

Conceived with versatility in mind, the DEFY Skyline Skeleton White Ceramic comes on an integrated white ceramic bracelet, which seamlessly follows the contours and mixed brushed and polished finish of the case. A bright white patterned rubber strap that matches the ceramic is also provided to make the most of the case’s ingenious quick strap-change mechanism, which requires no tools to operate.

he DEFY Skyline Skeleton in White Ceramic is powered by the El Primero 3620 SK automatic high-frequency skeleton calibre, featuring a 1/10th of a second indicator that’s driven directly from the 5Hz escapement. It features a power reserve of approximately 55 hours and is endowed with a stop-second mechanism for precise time-setting.

The DEFY Skyline Skeleton in White Ceramic is available in small quantities from all ZENITH physical and online boutiques as well as authorized retailers around the world.

PIAGET – POLO Chronograph Talisman Green Panda Dial

PIAGET – POLO Chronograph Talisman Green Panda Dial 42 mm Automatic 2024

Following on from the success of the Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, the Maison’s iconic Piaget Polo watch is striking a chord with another complication – the chronograph – in a vibrant shade of emerald green.

With the simple but effective statement “Jewellers and Watchmakers since 1874”, stamped on watch certificates of years gone by, Maison Piaget summed up everything that makes it unique. The Maison was founded 150 years ago in La Côte-aux-Fées, in the heart of the Swiss watchmaking valley, by a family whose daring became both an aesthetic signature and the cornerstone of their reputation.

Driven by its talent for the ultra-thin, with watches first crafted from sleek components before incorporating legendary movements, the Maison is also fascinated by the bright colours of ornamental stones and the gold work that they have elevated to an art form.

Maison Piaget has always refused to compromise on either technique or aesthetics, elegance or extravagance, firmly establishing itself as the Maison of Extraleganza. This subtle twist is at play in its High Watchmaking and Jewellery creations, as well as its everyday jewellery and watches.

Redesigned in 2016 to take on a more contemporary edge, the Piaget Polo Chronograph still encapsulates the essence of stylish sport-chic first embodied by the 1979 Piaget Polo. It also bears witness to the Maison’s long-standing love of complications, harking back to the chronograph movements used in the Gouverneur watches of the 1980s and in the Protocole XL and Upstream in the 2000s.

Presented here in a 42 mm case size, layering different shapes within the rounded curves of a cushion-shaped case, the complication, driven by a 1160P movement, creates a playful contrast that echoes the two-toned dials of so-called Panda chronographs.

Most often combining stark white and matte black, or vice versa, the distinctive Panda look takes on the warm colours and the hint of daring that have always defined the Maison’s creations. This unexpected blend of styles creates a new visual effect.

Vibrant and surprising, this dial echoes the horizontal lines of the 1979 Piaget Polo’s legendary gadroons. These are highlighted by a dense and luminous emerald-green hue that draws the eye, stands out and sets the tone.
