The Zenith Academy Georges Favre-Jacot in rose gold is a remarkable limited- edition timepiece introduced in 2015 to commemorate Zenith’s 150th anniversary. Named after the brand’s founder, this watch showcases a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern horological innovation.
A standout feature of this watch is the fusée and chain transmission system, a mechanism traditionally found in pocket watches. This system ensures consistent force delivery to the escapement, enhancing timekeeping precision as the mainspring unwinds. The chain, composed of 575 parts, is prominently displayed on the dial, offering a visual treat for horology enthusiasts.
Limited to 150 pieces, the Zenith Academy Georges Favre-Jacot in rose gold is a collector’s item that embodies the brand’s rich heritage and commitment to innovation. Its unique combination of complications and limited availability make it a sought-after piece among watch collectors.
