Review by marta modzelewska, From United States Lewisburg

The Manufacture Zenith, which has remained in the very same spot for almost a century and half, was an integral part of the early days in the amazing saga of aviation and was one of the first to supply onboard watches and instruments.
Louis Bleriot and Leon Morane were acquainted with each other. The two famous pioneering aviators took part in the conquest of the skies in the early 20th century. On July 25th 1909, at the age of 37, Bleriot flew across the Channel in a plane he had built: a world-first accomplishment. Less than a year later, 25 year-old Morane flew at more than 100 km/h at an air show in Reins, France - an unbelievable speed for the time. His aircraft was a Bleriot XI. The two men shared a passion for aviation as well as a taste for risks - and of course for competition. Not only that, but Louis Bleriot and Leon Morane also owned an instrument that was a must-have for pilots, a Zenith watch that they regarded as the most accurate on the market. Witness these few lines penned by each: "I am very satisfied with my Zenith watch that I generally use and I cannot but recommend it to all those with a concern for precision", wrote Louis Bleriot, while Leon Morane exclaimed "Zenith! Isn't that a predestined name for aviators? Add to that the fact that all these qualities are housed within the attractive case of this watch, and you've got a Zenith."
Zenith thus made a decisive early entrance into the extraordinary adventure of aviation. First partnering some of the greatest pioneers, the Manufacture subsequently became one of the first onboard instrument manufacturers. Altimeters and onboard watches (montres d'aeronef) intended for inflight use were supplied both to the military and to civilian airlines. Known among aeronautical industry manufacturers and professionals for its reliability, its sturdiness and its precision, the famous Zenith Type 20 appeared as of 1938 on the instrument panels of a number of planes - including the Caudron Simon C.635 used by the French Air Force as a training aircraft. Today's Pilot collection is a worthy heir to these years of airborne glory and conquests.
 

GMT watches are thus direct heirs to the conquest of the skies, which is why Zenith wished to pay homage through a special GMT series to one of the most talented pilots of his era, who became a legend: the Red Baron. Born Albrecht von Richthofen in May 1892 in what is now Poland, he was fascinated by the budding field of aviation and soon became a true aerobatics artist - a flying ace to whom even pilots of the allied forces paid tribute. His celebrity and his nickname are inseparably bound up with that of the bright red-painted Fokker Triplane Dr.1. Famed for his 80 air combat victories, he was one of the last representatives of the nobler values of such combat: honour, fair play and courage.
It is in memory of this gifted pilot whose name is still cited to this day that Zenith has created a 500-piece limited edition: the Pilot Montre d'Aeronef Type 20 GMT Red Baron. Made in black DLC-coated steel and fitted with an overstitched black leather strap, this model is also distinguished by its red GMT marking and by the caseback medallion depicting the Fokker Triplane Dr.1 and bearing the inscription: Montre d'Aeronef Type 20 - ZENITH Flying Instruments. Definitely a collector's watch.
 

WORLDTEMPUS  21 November 2011

The Swatch Group, Rolex and Patek Philippe have not participated in the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie for many years. In a way this is really a shame, but in another way it does leave room for the jury to honor another side of watchmaking that has only recently begun to receive much-deserved accolades. Independent watchmaking continues to come out from behind the shadow of the rich and famous Swiss brands to reap the honors it deserves - as the eleventh edition of the Swiss city's most prestigious awards demonstrated last night.

A reorganization of the foundation overseeing the GPGH has resulted in an enlarged jury that now includes three world-renowned retailers and distributers, journalists, experts and even collectors as well as a system of secret voting that enables even the most timid jury members to speak their minds. The new jury also comprises representatives of the city and canton of Geneva, Timelab (which oversees the Seal of Geneva) and the MIH - the Musee International d'Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds, one of the most important cultural institutions in watchmaking.
Ninety-one brands submitted a total of 246 watches to seven jury-presided categories, which voted them down to a top ten in each category, before shortlisting the top three, with the winning watches announced last night.
The ceremony - as usual - began right on time. The mayor of Geneva proclaimed an abundance of creativity and tipped his hat to the "artisans and creators making these complicated things we love."
The winners
The design category was hotly contested, in addition to being completely misnomered. From the final three - Eva Leube's incredible Ari, Hautlence's awe-inspiring HL 2.2 and Urwerk's intense UR-110 - the jury chose a highly deserving Urwerk.
 

In voting the ladies' category, it became evident that the jury had no women on it. Boucheron took home the trophy for its gem-studded oeuvre Crazy Jungle Hathi. Though it was nearly impossible to know where the difference in these two categories lay, the one labeled "jewelry and metiers d'art" came away with a most deserving champion: Van Cleef & Arpels' Lady Arpels Polar Landscape Seal, which features an artistic melange of engraving, enameling and stone work.
The hotly contested category for men's watch of the year was also a tossup in terms of quality and ingenuity, but the jury went for poetry in the end, awarding the honor to a deserving Hermes Arceau Temps Suspendu. With a push of the button, this manually wound watch hides the time and the date, thereby allowing its wearer to enjoy life without the pressure of worrying about the time.
Not greatly surprising, TAG Heuer took home the award for best sports watch: the Mikrotimer Flying 1000 Chronograph.
Sebastian Whitstone, president of the GPGH jury, personally handed the award for the best complicated watch to Jean-Frederic Dufour, CEO of Zenith, for the Academy Christophe Colomb Equation du Temps. Dufour explained that this was one of almost 300 awards Zenith has received throughout the company's history and cited the reliability of its timepieces.
The Petite Aiguille for the best watch priced under 5,000 Swiss francs went to Montblanc for the Star Worldtime GMT Automatic.
The Prix Publique (Public Prize), which was voted on by visitors to the GPGH traveling exhibition in four major cities (Zurich, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Geneva), was given to Audemars Piguet for its Millenary 4101. CEO Philippe Merk was visibly pleased as he accepted the trophy for this innovative timepiece.
Special prizes
The jury also presided over three special categories. The Patek Philippe Museum won the Special Prize of the Jury, which can be awarded to any person or entity within the realm of horology. The best watchmaker-concepteur award went to Vianney Halter, who received it from MIH curator Ludwig Oechslin. "Watchmaking has been a voyage," Halter said, comparing the realization of a timepiece to a journey. He described himself as an explorer, but also took time to thank those that have influenced his path, among them Pierre Maillard, Philippe Dufour and Robert Greubel.
 

The last award of the evening was simultaneously the most anticipated: Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey, who won the Aiguille d'Or last year for their eponymous brand, personally handed it to this year's recipient of it. De Bethune was called to the stage amidst grand applause.
In receiving the award, technical director Denis Flageollet described the independent scene as "a grand horological family." He also described the goal of the brand he founded together with David Zanetta as striving to "search and move forward." Zanetta said that "watchmaking is an art and a science at the same time. The goal is not to make more watches, but to make better watches."

The glorious evening was closed by a speech from Swiss president Micheline Calmy-Rey.
 

Called Helios, in reference to the Greek God of sun, the sun-shaped hour display is unique. It is the first hour display over 24 hours that shows the sun's path and the alternation of night and day.Simple to read yet fitted with a complex mechanism, this piece in Frederic Jouvenot's Solar Deity collection has two faces, corresponding to the day and night cycles. For the first time in watchmaking history, a timepiece displays the time without conventional hands, numerals or disks.
Each hour is represented by a radioconcentric sunbeam, i.e. starting from the centre and radiating towards the edge of the dial. The twelve sunbeams show the path of the sun on the dial while indicating the hour to come and the past hour.At mid-day, all the sunbeams are golden to represent daylight. At that precise moment, the dial represents the sun at its zenith. As time passes, the rays become black, one after another, clockwise; the dial darkens and announces oncoming night. Midnight is represented by twelve dark beams reflecting in the night. To symbolise the return to light, the sunbeams take turns to pivot again until mid-day, thus completing a full 24 hour cycle.
Telling the time remains instinctive. Each hour keeps its conventional position and the minutes are indicated by a central cartouche fitted with an index that completes a revolution on the fixed minute disc. The display maintains the conventional angular gap of a watch for instinctive reading.The whole complication mechanism is enclosed in the central 12 mm diameter and 5 mm high case which contains no fewer than 100 parts, including 24 rubies which will activate the hour's jumping beams.

Example: at 3.30 p.m., the first three beams are black and the minute indicator points to 6 o'clock, as on a conventional dial. The conventional angular gap between 3 o'clock and 30 minutes is thus maintained. Herein lies the feat accomplished by Frederic Jouvenot; having maintained conventional reading of the dial with a revolutionary hour display system.

But the designer who has imagined, built in three dimensions and invented this watchmaking complication has also designed the case of his watch in partnership with his supplier. He wanted it to be very comfortable on the wrist, curving the horns as much as possible to follow the natural line of the wrist. He then lightened the design of the case by emptying the horns of the watch, giving it a very contemporary look.

The manual winding movement follows watchmaking tradition comprising a balance with screws, the angled and polished finishing of the bridges in "côtes de Geneve", the angled and polished steel pawl spring with honed finishing.
