Thanks for the compliments everyone!

It's 38mm and 13.75mm thick, a rather demure size for a chronograph these days.

You'd be surprised by how often we actually hear 38mm is too big. I think that's one of the reasons we've settled on 38mm for most of our LEs: both big and small watch fans are equally disappointed by the size.

Love the case, dial, crystal, proportions... all of it. Just too small for me. This would rock and 41-42
Merde Alors! Et Vive Les Francais! :)

I know what you mean, but the downside of these LEs is that we have to really commit to a one size fits all approach. Hopefully one day we can produce two different sizes at the same time, which would be great.

Love it. Crazy the EP is still ever so squinty at 38mm. What's the price?

Watches have become so GD expensive. At least this one is nice looking and in house, with some real history.

Not something I would buy or wear, but it’s a lovely watch. Nice job on this one.

Thanks again for all the kind words. We've received a lot of support on this one.

I wrote a review of a watch I co-designed, horrifically violating conflict of interest standards, which you can read on DWC here.

Its gorgeous. Is it just me or do the minute and hour hands lack contrast?

I think that's because the photos were taken in a light box, so the hour/minute hands are reflecting as light as they possibly can. In the real world, with myriad different reflections on them, they stand out more.

Good design effort...no overlapping registers, etc. It is a little small...but that's been said already.

Been a while since I looked at a Zenith without seeing something out of whack...
