Aptly named after the legendary explorer Christopher
Colombus, the Zenith Christophe Colomb is as
adventurous and bold as the discoverer was.
Christophe Colomb packs a self-regulating gyroscopic
module in a wrist watch for the very first time. Inspired
by the legendary marine chronometer instrument,
used for navigational purposes by sailors, the
self-regulating gyroscopic module addresses one of
the key issues: how to achieve precision measurements
with instruments that are subjected to constant motion.
It ensures that the regulating organ and the escapement
are permanently kept in the horizontal
position, thereby
ensuring precision timing. The numbers
speak for
themselves: This complication comprises
166 components, while a tourbillon has only 66.
So, now indulge in the activity of your choice – driving,
golfing or skippering a boat – and rest assured that
with the Zenith Christophe Colomb, your timing will
be accurate.
