the multicolored Felipe Pantone fa\u00e7ade from our 2023 visit has been replaced. In its stead stands a striking trompe-l\u2019oeil mural mirroring the manufacture\u2019s historic exterior walls \u2014 complete with rows of azure windows, subtle brick pattern and the iconic \u201cG.F.J.\u201d lettering honoring founder Georges Favre-Jacot. Unveiled last spring to mark Zenith\u2019s 160th anniversary, this architectural facelift arrived just a month before the brand revealed its latest high-craft direction at Watches and Wonders.<\/p>\n<p>The celebratory momentum naturally carried into the annual watch fair, where Zenith officially debuted its G.F.J. line. Named after the Maison\u2019s visionary founder, the G.F.J. collection serves as the newest dress watch model in the brand\u2019s modern roster, marking a refreshing shift for a catalog heavily dominated in recent years by the luxury sports watches from the Defy line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our lineup, we have always had a timeless, elegant, dressy collection,\u201d Romain Marietta, Zenith\u2019s Chief Products Officer, tells Hypebeast. \u201cUntil last year, that was the Elite Collection. It was our entry-level segment for the manufacture. However, as a brand focused on value proposition rather than mass market volume \u2013 we produce fewer than 20,000 watches a year compared to the millions produced by others \u2013 we realized we needed to elevate our core values.\u201d As the long-standing Elite collection is gradually phased out, the G.F.J. steps up as the brand\u2019s new signature expression of elegant haute horlogerie.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cAs a brand focused on value proposition rather than mass market volume, we realized we needed to elevate our core values.\u201d \u2013 Romain Marietta, Chief Products Officer at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>To anchor this rebirth, Zenith resurrected its archival holy grail: the legendary Calibre 135. Laurence Bodenmann, Zenith\u2019s Head of Heritage, describes it as an \u201cicon of watchmaking at large,\u201d and a movement within the Maison\u2019s 160-plus years of history that could rival the significance and fame of its prized El Primero. Originally conceptualized in 1949 by constructor Ephrem Jobin, the movement was a technical masterpiece engineered specifically to dominate the Neuch\u00e2tel Observatory chronometry trials. Its physical architecture dictates its very name: a diameter of 13 lignes \u2013 literally the maximum allowable size for the wristwatch category in competition \u2013 paired with a 5mm height.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Jobin] wanted to bring the precision you get in a pocket watch \u2013 specifically the extra-large balance wheel \u2013 into a wristwatch,\u201d Bodenmann explains. \u201cHe designed this movement with an extra-large balance wheel to provide more inertia to the rate, resulting in more regularity and precision.\u201d And it is this precise, oversized wheel that makes the Calibre 135 instantly recognizable.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cThere is a romantic feeling to winding [a watch] by hand, much like a pocket watch.\u201d \u2013 Laurence Bodenmann, Head of Heritage at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>To this day, Zenith remains the undisputed holder of the most chronometry awards in watchmaking history, having amassed an unparalleled 2,333 prizes. The Calibre 135 alone accounts for more than 10% of that legendary record, holding 235 internal titles. Though the industry\u2019s sweeping mid-century shift toward automatic movements forced the caliber into a 60-year retirement in 1962, a monumental mechanical homecoming was sparked in 2022 through a landmark three-way collaboration.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea actually came from the Phillips,\u201d Bodenmann says, recounting how the auction house initiated the project. \u201cThey asked us, \u2018What are you doing with the 135?\u2019 It\u2019s so emblematic, and every time a vintage 135 surfaces, people are incredibly excited.\u201d This then led to the three-way project between Phillips, Zenith and the esteemed independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, resulting in the restoration and casing of ten ultra-rare, observatory-grade 135-O calibers that won historical Neuch\u00e2tel trials between 1950 and 1954.\n<\/p>\n<p>Building on that success, Zenith chose to install a modernized variant of the mechanical legend as the beating heart of the production G.F.J. models. \u201cToday, what do we need an automatic for in this context? Chronographs with high frequency are great, but for a highly precious, three-hand watch that you don\u2019t wear every day, you are going to have to set it anyway,\u201d Bodenmann notes. \u201cThere is a romantic feeling to winding it by hand, much like a pocket watch.\u201d While boosting the power reserve to a modern three days, Zenith meticulously preserved the original caliber\u2019s historical tenets \u2013 including a rare Breguet-type spiral overcoil that remains highly uncommon in modern movements today \u2013 proving that manual winding is still our most romantic interaction with time.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cDesigning [the G.F.J.] was incredibly challenging because it\u2019s a three-hand watch\u2026 Finding a strong character for a three-hander is tough.\u201d \u2013 S\u00e9bastien Gobert, Creative Director at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>For the G.F.J., translating that mechanical genius to the wrist required a design language just as sophisticated as its movement. S\u00e9bastien Gobert, Zenith\u2019s Creative Director, recalls the immense difficulty of the task: \u201cDesigning this piece was incredibly challenging because it\u2019s a three-hand watch. It is much easier to design a chronograph where the dial is full of indications. Finding a strong character for a three-hander is tough.\u201d Yet, the definitive aesthetic solution turned out to be both deeply historical and close to home \u2014 requiring Gobert and his team to simply look out their office windows. Those repetitive geometric brick motifs and historic G.F.J. lettering on the manufacture\u2019s exterior walls became their exact architectural muse.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe tried many different guilloch\u00e9 patterns before settling on the brick motif,\u201d Marietta shares. The resulting signature brick pattern \u2013 now executed across the dial\u2019s outer ring, the movement bridges, the integrated metal bracelet links and the custom leather strap buckles \u2013 serves as a poetic homage. Zenith\u2019s founder, Georges Favre-Jacot, originally owned the very brick factory used to construct the surrounding town of Le Locle, giving this clean geometric texture a profound structural meaning.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cFor the dial design, wanted to ensure we could animate the collection with different iterations over time.\u201d \u2013 S\u00e9bastien Gobert, Creative Director at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the dial design, we wanted to ensure we could animate the collection with different iterations over time,\u201d Gobert reveals, pointing to the dial\u2019s clever three-part construction. Built with an outer ring bearing the brick guilloch\u00e9, a center section designated for stone dials and a distinct mother-of-pearl subdial, the architecture allows for immense creative range. The initial G.F.J. novelty that debuted at Watches and Wonders 2025 beautifully realized this blueprint with a sky-inspired palette: a deep lapis lazuli center disc standing in for the night sky and a treated mother-of-pearl subdial mirroring the day, blending together into Zenith\u2019s ultimate celestial symbol.\n<\/p>\n<p>The story of the G.F.J. continues to evolve in 2026. For this year\u2019s Watches and Wonders in Geneva, Zenith introduced two highly limited headline models: one in 18k yellow gold with a bloodstone dial, and another in pure Tantalum paired with a deep, polished black onyx dial. \u201cIt started with the case. We wanted to introduce yellow gold, which we didn\u2019t currently have in the collection,\u201d Marietta recalls. The team quickly settled on bloodstone for the main dial, not merely because green and gold pair effortlessly together, but because the gemstone possesses an uncharacteristic energy that stands out from the ubiquitous malachite dials seen in luxury watchmaking.\n<\/p>\n<p>Standing alongside this radiant iteration of the G.F.J watch is the Tantalum edition. Tantalum is notoriously difficult to use in watchmaking because its dense, highly ductile nature rapidly dulls and destroys standard machining tools, turning the execution of sharp case angles and fine hand-engravings into an incredibly punishing, labor-intensive ordeal. This piece marks the first time Zenith has ever produced a watch in tantalum \u2014 a challenge magnified by the G.F.J.\u2019s case design, which features sharp inner angles on the step chamfers and bezel. Compounding this, the G.F.J. initials on the crown had to be engraved entirely by hand for each of the 20 limited pieces, as the metal prevents standard automated machining.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\">\n<div>\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F25%2Fzenith-g-f-j-calibre-135-design-story-collaborations-studio-visit-interviews-031.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Looking to the future, Marietta tells Hypebeast that the macro-strategy for the G.F.J. line will systematically rotate through three distinct \u201crhythms\u201d \u2013 a core collection model (such as this year\u2019s yellow gold novelty), a highly precious material interpretation (like the tantalum and black onyx edition) and independent collaborations. Given the collection\u2019s inherent independent spirit and haute horlogerie positioning, Zenith intends to further this spirit by collaborating with independent watchmakers from around the world. \u201cWe have more to come,\u201d he teases.\n<\/p>\n<p>After a few blind guesses, Marietta offered us a little more insight into the upcoming collaboration they have down the pipeline. Although he could not reveal which independent watchmaker they will be partnering with next, he showed us a concept sketch. \u201cWhen I met with the watchmaker, before I could even pitch the idea, he asked, \u2018Are you here to propose something with the Calibre 135?\u2019,\u201d Marietta recalled, adding that the independent watchmaker is a huge admirer of chronometers from the \u201940s and \u201950s. \u201cIt was the perfect match,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6727656\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Zenith Celebrates America\u2019s 250th With the Chronomaster Revival A384 Liberty II Edition\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6727190\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The Kid Who Built the &#8216;Backrooms&#8217; \u2014 Meet A24&#8217;s Youngest Director, Kane Parsons\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6728546\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>PUMA Says Farewell FENTY &amp; SKIMS Reveals First China Store in This Week&#8217;s Top Fashion News\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

the multicolored Felipe Pantone fa\u00e7ade from our 2023 visit has been replaced. In its stead stands a striking trompe-l\u2019oeil mural mirroring the manufacture\u2019s historic exterior walls \u2014 complete with rows of azure windows, subtle brick pattern and the iconic \u201cG.F.J.\u201d lettering honoring founder Georges Favre-Jacot. Unveiled last spring to mark Zenith\u2019s 160th anniversary, this architectural facelift arrived just a month before the brand revealed its latest high-craft direction at Watches and Wonders.<\/p>\n<p>The celebratory momentum naturally carried into the annual watch fair, where Zenith officially debuted its G.F.J. line. Named after the Maison\u2019s visionary founder, the G.F.J. collection serves as the newest dress watch model in the brand\u2019s modern roster, marking a refreshing shift for a catalog heavily dominated in recent years by the luxury sports watches from the Defy line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our lineup, we have always had a timeless, elegant, dressy collection,\u201d Romain Marietta, Zenith\u2019s Chief Products Officer, tells Hypebeast. \u201cUntil last year, that was the Elite Collection. It was our entry-level segment for the manufacture. However, as a brand focused on value proposition rather than mass market volume \u2013 we produce fewer than 20,000 watches a year compared to the millions produced by others \u2013 we realized we needed to elevate our core values.\u201d As the long-standing Elite collection is gradually phased out, the G.F.J. steps up as the brand\u2019s new signature expression of elegant haute horlogerie.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cAs a brand focused on value proposition rather than mass market volume, we realized we needed to elevate our core values.\u201d \u2013 Romain Marietta, Chief Products Officer at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>To anchor this rebirth, Zenith resurrected its archival holy grail: the legendary Calibre 135. Laurence Bodenmann, Zenith\u2019s Head of Heritage, describes it as an \u201cicon of watchmaking at large,\u201d and a movement within the Maison\u2019s 160-plus years of history that could rival the significance and fame of its prized El Primero. Originally conceptualized in 1949 by constructor Ephrem Jobin, the movement was a technical masterpiece engineered specifically to dominate the Neuch\u00e2tel Observatory chronometry trials. Its physical architecture dictates its very name: a diameter of 13 lignes \u2013 literally the maximum allowable size for the wristwatch category in competition \u2013 paired with a 5mm height.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Jobin] wanted to bring the precision you get in a pocket watch \u2013 specifically the extra-large balance wheel \u2013 into a wristwatch,\u201d Bodenmann explains. \u201cHe designed this movement with an extra-large balance wheel to provide more inertia to the rate, resulting in more regularity and precision.\u201d And it is this precise, oversized wheel that makes the Calibre 135 instantly recognizable.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cThere is a romantic feeling to winding [a watch] by hand, much like a pocket watch.\u201d \u2013 Laurence Bodenmann, Head of Heritage at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>To this day, Zenith remains the undisputed holder of the most chronometry awards in watchmaking history, having amassed an unparalleled 2,333 prizes. The Calibre 135 alone accounts for more than 10% of that legendary record, holding 235 internal titles. Though the industry\u2019s sweeping mid-century shift toward automatic movements forced the caliber into a 60-year retirement in 1962, a monumental mechanical homecoming was sparked in 2022 through a landmark three-way collaboration.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea actually came from the Phillips,\u201d Bodenmann says, recounting how the auction house initiated the project. \u201cThey asked us, \u2018What are you doing with the 135?\u2019 It\u2019s so emblematic, and every time a vintage 135 surfaces, people are incredibly excited.\u201d This then led to the three-way project between Phillips, Zenith and the esteemed independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, resulting in the restoration and casing of ten ultra-rare, observatory-grade 135-O calibers that won historical Neuch\u00e2tel trials between 1950 and 1954.\n<\/p>\n<p>Building on that success, Zenith chose to install a modernized variant of the mechanical legend as the beating heart of the production G.F.J. models. \u201cToday, what do we need an automatic for in this context? Chronographs with high frequency are great, but for a highly precious, three-hand watch that you don\u2019t wear every day, you are going to have to set it anyway,\u201d Bodenmann notes. \u201cThere is a romantic feeling to winding it by hand, much like a pocket watch.\u201d While boosting the power reserve to a modern three days, Zenith meticulously preserved the original caliber\u2019s historical tenets \u2013 including a rare Breguet-type spiral overcoil that remains highly uncommon in modern movements today \u2013 proving that manual winding is still our most romantic interaction with time.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cDesigning [the G.F.J.] was incredibly challenging because it\u2019s a three-hand watch\u2026 Finding a strong character for a three-hander is tough.\u201d \u2013 S\u00e9bastien Gobert, Creative Director at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>For the G.F.J., translating that mechanical genius to the wrist required a design language just as sophisticated as its movement. S\u00e9bastien Gobert, Zenith\u2019s Creative Director, recalls the immense difficulty of the task: \u201cDesigning this piece was incredibly challenging because it\u2019s a three-hand watch. It is much easier to design a chronograph where the dial is full of indications. Finding a strong character for a three-hander is tough.\u201d Yet, the definitive aesthetic solution turned out to be both deeply historical and close to home \u2014 requiring Gobert and his team to simply look out their office windows. Those repetitive geometric brick motifs and historic G.F.J. lettering on the manufacture\u2019s exterior walls became their exact architectural muse.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe tried many different guilloch\u00e9 patterns before settling on the brick motif,\u201d Marietta shares. The resulting signature brick pattern \u2013 now executed across the dial\u2019s outer ring, the movement bridges, the integrated metal bracelet links and the custom leather strap buckles \u2013 serves as a poetic homage. Zenith\u2019s founder, Georges Favre-Jacot, originally owned the very brick factory used to construct the surrounding town of Le Locle, giving this clean geometric texture a profound structural meaning.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cFor the dial design, wanted to ensure we could animate the collection with different iterations over time.\u201d \u2013 S\u00e9bastien Gobert, Creative Director at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the dial design, we wanted to ensure we could animate the collection with different iterations over time,\u201d Gobert reveals, pointing to the dial\u2019s clever three-part construction. Built with an outer ring bearing the brick guilloch\u00e9, a center section designated for stone dials and a distinct mother-of-pearl subdial, the architecture allows for immense creative range. The initial G.F.J. novelty that debuted at Watches and Wonders 2025 beautifully realized this blueprint with a sky-inspired palette: a deep lapis lazuli center disc standing in for the night sky and a treated mother-of-pearl subdial mirroring the day, blending together into Zenith\u2019s ultimate celestial symbol.\n<\/p>\n<p>The story of the G.F.J. continues to evolve in 2026. For this year\u2019s Watches and Wonders in Geneva, Zenith introduced two highly limited headline models: one in 18k yellow gold with a bloodstone dial, and another in pure Tantalum paired with a deep, polished black onyx dial. \u201cIt started with the case. We wanted to introduce yellow gold, which we didn\u2019t currently have in the collection,\u201d Marietta recalls. The team quickly settled on bloodstone for the main dial, not merely because green and gold pair effortlessly together, but because the gemstone possesses an uncharacteristic energy that stands out from the ubiquitous malachite dials seen in luxury watchmaking.\n<\/p>\n<p>Standing alongside this radiant iteration of the G.F.J watch is the Tantalum edition. Tantalum is notoriously difficult to use in watchmaking because its dense, highly ductile nature rapidly dulls and destroys standard machining tools, turning the execution of sharp case angles and fine hand-engravings into an incredibly punishing, labor-intensive ordeal. This piece marks the first time Zenith has ever produced a watch in tantalum \u2014 a challenge magnified by the G.F.J.\u2019s case design, which features sharp inner angles on the step chamfers and bezel. Compounding this, the G.F.J. initials on the crown had to be engraved entirely by hand for each of the 20 limited pieces, as the metal prevents standard automated machining.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\">\n<div>\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F25%2Fzenith-g-f-j-calibre-135-design-story-collaborations-studio-visit-interviews-031.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Looking to the future, Marietta tells Hypebeast that the macro-strategy for the G.F.J. line will systematically rotate through three distinct \u201crhythms\u201d \u2013 a core collection model (such as this year\u2019s yellow gold novelty), a highly precious material interpretation (like the tantalum and black onyx edition) and independent collaborations. Given the collection\u2019s inherent independent spirit and haute horlogerie positioning, Zenith intends to further this spirit by collaborating with independent watchmakers from around the world. \u201cWe have more to come,\u201d he teases.\n<\/p>\n<p>After a few blind guesses, Marietta offered us a little more insight into the upcoming collaboration they have down the pipeline. Although he could not reveal which independent watchmaker they will be partnering with next, he showed us a concept sketch. \u201cWhen I met with the watchmaker, before I could even pitch the idea, he asked, \u2018Are you here to propose something with the Calibre 135?\u2019,\u201d Marietta recalled, adding that the independent watchmaker is a huge admirer of chronometers from the \u201940s and \u201950s. \u201cIt was the perfect match,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6727656\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Zenith Celebrates America\u2019s 250th With the Chronomaster Revival A384 Liberty II Edition\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6727190\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The Kid Who Built the &#8216;Backrooms&#8217; \u2014 Meet A24&#8217;s Youngest Director, Kane Parsons\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6728546\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>PUMA Says Farewell FENTY &amp; SKIMS Reveals First China Store in This Week&#8217;s Top Fashion News\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

the multicolored Felipe Pantone fa\u00e7ade from our 2023 visit has been replaced. In its stead stands a striking trompe-l\u2019oeil mural mirroring the manufacture\u2019s historic exterior walls \u2014 complete with rows of azure windows, subtle brick pattern and the iconic \u201cG.F.J.\u201d lettering honoring founder Georges Favre-Jacot. Unveiled last spring to mark Zenith\u2019s 160th anniversary, this architectural facelift arrived just a month before the brand revealed its latest high-craft direction at Watches and Wonders.<\/p>\n<p>The celebratory momentum naturally carried into the annual watch fair, where Zenith officially debuted its G.F.J. line. Named after the Maison\u2019s visionary founder, the G.F.J. collection serves as the newest dress watch model in the brand\u2019s modern roster, marking a refreshing shift for a catalog heavily dominated in recent years by the luxury sports watches from the Defy line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our lineup, we have always had a timeless, elegant, dressy collection,\u201d Romain Marietta, Zenith\u2019s Chief Products Officer, tells Hypebeast. \u201cUntil last year, that was the Elite Collection. It was our entry-level segment for the manufacture. However, as a brand focused on value proposition rather than mass market volume \u2013 we produce fewer than 20,000 watches a year compared to the millions produced by others \u2013 we realized we needed to elevate our core values.\u201d As the long-standing Elite collection is gradually phased out, the G.F.J. steps up as the brand\u2019s new signature expression of elegant haute horlogerie.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cAs a brand focused on value proposition rather than mass market volume, we realized we needed to elevate our core values.\u201d \u2013 Romain Marietta, Chief Products Officer at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>To anchor this rebirth, Zenith resurrected its archival holy grail: the legendary Calibre 135. Laurence Bodenmann, Zenith\u2019s Head of Heritage, describes it as an \u201cicon of watchmaking at large,\u201d and a movement within the Maison\u2019s 160-plus years of history that could rival the significance and fame of its prized El Primero. Originally conceptualized in 1949 by constructor Ephrem Jobin, the movement was a technical masterpiece engineered specifically to dominate the Neuch\u00e2tel Observatory chronometry trials. Its physical architecture dictates its very name: a diameter of 13 lignes \u2013 literally the maximum allowable size for the wristwatch category in competition \u2013 paired with a 5mm height.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Jobin] wanted to bring the precision you get in a pocket watch \u2013 specifically the extra-large balance wheel \u2013 into a wristwatch,\u201d Bodenmann explains. \u201cHe designed this movement with an extra-large balance wheel to provide more inertia to the rate, resulting in more regularity and precision.\u201d And it is this precise, oversized wheel that makes the Calibre 135 instantly recognizable.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cThere is a romantic feeling to winding [a watch] by hand, much like a pocket watch.\u201d \u2013 Laurence Bodenmann, Head of Heritage at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>To this day, Zenith remains the undisputed holder of the most chronometry awards in watchmaking history, having amassed an unparalleled 2,333 prizes. The Calibre 135 alone accounts for more than 10% of that legendary record, holding 235 internal titles. Though the industry\u2019s sweeping mid-century shift toward automatic movements forced the caliber into a 60-year retirement in 1962, a monumental mechanical homecoming was sparked in 2022 through a landmark three-way collaboration.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea actually came from the Phillips,\u201d Bodenmann says, recounting how the auction house initiated the project. \u201cThey asked us, \u2018What are you doing with the 135?\u2019 It\u2019s so emblematic, and every time a vintage 135 surfaces, people are incredibly excited.\u201d This then led to the three-way project between Phillips, Zenith and the esteemed independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, resulting in the restoration and casing of ten ultra-rare, observatory-grade 135-O calibers that won historical Neuch\u00e2tel trials between 1950 and 1954.\n<\/p>\n<p>Building on that success, Zenith chose to install a modernized variant of the mechanical legend as the beating heart of the production G.F.J. models. \u201cToday, what do we need an automatic for in this context? Chronographs with high frequency are great, but for a highly precious, three-hand watch that you don\u2019t wear every day, you are going to have to set it anyway,\u201d Bodenmann notes. \u201cThere is a romantic feeling to winding it by hand, much like a pocket watch.\u201d While boosting the power reserve to a modern three days, Zenith meticulously preserved the original caliber\u2019s historical tenets \u2013 including a rare Breguet-type spiral overcoil that remains highly uncommon in modern movements today \u2013 proving that manual winding is still our most romantic interaction with time.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cDesigning [the G.F.J.] was incredibly challenging because it\u2019s a three-hand watch\u2026 Finding a strong character for a three-hander is tough.\u201d \u2013 S\u00e9bastien Gobert, Creative Director at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>For the G.F.J., translating that mechanical genius to the wrist required a design language just as sophisticated as its movement. S\u00e9bastien Gobert, Zenith\u2019s Creative Director, recalls the immense difficulty of the task: \u201cDesigning this piece was incredibly challenging because it\u2019s a three-hand watch. It is much easier to design a chronograph where the dial is full of indications. Finding a strong character for a three-hander is tough.\u201d Yet, the definitive aesthetic solution turned out to be both deeply historical and close to home \u2014 requiring Gobert and his team to simply look out their office windows. Those repetitive geometric brick motifs and historic G.F.J. lettering on the manufacture\u2019s exterior walls became their exact architectural muse.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe tried many different guilloch\u00e9 patterns before settling on the brick motif,\u201d Marietta shares. The resulting signature brick pattern \u2013 now executed across the dial\u2019s outer ring, the movement bridges, the integrated metal bracelet links and the custom leather strap buckles \u2013 serves as a poetic homage. Zenith\u2019s founder, Georges Favre-Jacot, originally owned the very brick factory used to construct the surrounding town of Le Locle, giving this clean geometric texture a profound structural meaning.\n<\/p>\n<p><q>\u201cFor the dial design, wanted to ensure we could animate the collection with different iterations over time.\u201d \u2013 S\u00e9bastien Gobert, Creative Director at Zenith<\/q><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the dial design, we wanted to ensure we could animate the collection with different iterations over time,\u201d Gobert reveals, pointing to the dial\u2019s clever three-part construction. Built with an outer ring bearing the brick guilloch\u00e9, a center section designated for stone dials and a distinct mother-of-pearl subdial, the architecture allows for immense creative range. The initial G.F.J. novelty that debuted at Watches and Wonders 2025 beautifully realized this blueprint with a sky-inspired palette: a deep lapis lazuli center disc standing in for the night sky and a treated mother-of-pearl subdial mirroring the day, blending together into Zenith\u2019s ultimate celestial symbol.\n<\/p>\n<p>The story of the G.F.J. continues to evolve in 2026. For this year\u2019s Watches and Wonders in Geneva, Zenith introduced two highly limited headline models: one in 18k yellow gold with a bloodstone dial, and another in pure Tantalum paired with a deep, polished black onyx dial. \u201cIt started with the case. We wanted to introduce yellow gold, which we didn\u2019t currently have in the collection,\u201d Marietta recalls. The team quickly settled on bloodstone for the main dial, not merely because green and gold pair effortlessly together, but because the gemstone possesses an uncharacteristic energy that stands out from the ubiquitous malachite dials seen in luxury watchmaking.\n<\/p>\n<p>Standing alongside this radiant iteration of the G.F.J watch is the Tantalum edition. Tantalum is notoriously difficult to use in watchmaking because its dense, highly ductile nature rapidly dulls and destroys standard machining tools, turning the execution of sharp case angles and fine hand-engravings into an incredibly punishing, labor-intensive ordeal. This piece marks the first time Zenith has ever produced a watch in tantalum \u2014 a challenge magnified by the G.F.J.\u2019s case design, which features sharp inner angles on the step chamfers and bezel. Compounding this, the G.F.J. initials on the crown had to be engraved entirely by hand for each of the 20 limited pieces, as the metal prevents standard automated machining.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\">\n<div>\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F25%2Fzenith-g-f-j-calibre-135-design-story-collaborations-studio-visit-interviews-031.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Looking to the future, Marietta tells Hypebeast that the macro-strategy for the G.F.J. line will systematically rotate through three distinct \u201crhythms\u201d \u2013 a core collection model (such as this year\u2019s yellow gold novelty), a highly precious material interpretation (like the tantalum and black onyx edition) and independent collaborations. Given the collection\u2019s inherent independent spirit and haute horlogerie positioning, Zenith intends to further this spirit by collaborating with independent watchmakers from around the world. \u201cWe have more to come,\u201d he teases.\n<\/p>\n<p>After a few blind guesses, Marietta offered us a little more insight into the upcoming collaboration they have down the pipeline. Although he could not reveal which independent watchmaker they will be partnering with next, he showed us a concept sketch. \u201cWhen I met with the watchmaker, before I could even pitch the idea, he asked, \u2018Are you here to propose something with the Calibre 135?\u2019,\u201d Marietta recalled, adding that the independent watchmaker is a huge admirer of chronometers from the \u201940s and \u201950s. \u201cIt was the perfect match,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6727656\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Zenith Celebrates America\u2019s 250th With the Chronomaster Revival A384 Liberty II Edition\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6727190\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The Kid Who Built the &#8216;Backrooms&#8217; \u2014 Meet A24&#8217;s Youngest Director, Kane Parsons\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6728546\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>PUMA Says Farewell FENTY &amp; SKIMS Reveals First China Store in This Week&#8217;s Top Fashion News\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

Compounding this, the G.F.J. initials on the crown had to be engraved entirely by hand for each of the 20 limited pieces, as the metal prevents standard automated machining.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop data-slideshowspeed=\"7000\" data-group-cells=\"1\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel\">\n<div class=\"flickity-carousel-cell\" data-gallery-index=\"1\">\n<div>\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F25%2Fzenith-g-f-j-calibre-135-design-story-collaborations-studio-visit-interviews-031.jpg?q=90&amp;w=2180&amp;format=jpeg&amp;cbr=1&amp;fit=max\" media=\"<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),<br \/>\n                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)<br \/>\n                                    \" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Looking to the future, Marietta tells Hypebeast that the macro-strategy for the G.F.J. line will systematically rotate through three distinct \u201crhythms\u201d \u2013 a core collection model (such as this year\u2019s yellow gold novelty), a highly precious material interpretation (like the tantalum and black onyx edition) and independent collaborations. Given the collection\u2019s inherent independent spirit and haute horlogerie positioning, Zenith intends to further this spirit by collaborating with independent watchmakers from around the world. \u201cWe have more to come,\u201d he teases.\n<\/p>\n<p>After a few blind guesses, Marietta offered us a little more insight into the upcoming collaboration they have down the pipeline. Although he could not reveal which independent watchmaker they will be partnering with next, he showed us a concept sketch. \u201cWhen I met with the watchmaker, before I could even pitch the idea, he asked, \u2018Are you here to propose something with the Calibre 135?\u2019,\u201d Marietta recalled, adding that the independent watchmaker is a huge admirer of chronometers from the \u201940s and \u201950s. \u201cIt was the perfect match,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-author d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider share-divider\">\n<h6>Text By<\/h6>\n<p><span class=\"author-name\">Zoe Leung<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-credentials d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<div class=\"credential\">\n<h6>Image Credit<\/h6>\n<p><span>Zoe Leung\/Hypebeast<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-share d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<h6>Share this article<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brand-post-body-widget\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider d-block d-lg-none\">\n<h6>In This Article<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-content-tags\">\n<div class=\"body collapsed\">\n<p>    InterviewsZenithStudio VisitsRomain MariettaZenith G.F.JS\u00e9bastien GobertLaurence Bodenmann\n                                                            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/5\/zenith-g-f-j-calibre-135-design-story-collaborations-studio-visit-interviews&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F25%2Fzenith-g-f-j-calibre-135-design-story-collaborations-studio-visit-interviews-tw.jpg?w=1080&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;fit=max&#8221;] Watches May 29, 2026 4.6K Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save Text By Zoe Leung Image Credit Zoe Leung\/Hypebeast Share this article In This Article 1 of 17 2 of 17 3 of 17 4 of 17 5 of 17 6 of 17 7 of 17 8 of 17 9 of 17 10 of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,39],"class_list":["post-1964664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-hypebeast-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1964664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1964664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1964664\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1964664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1964664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1964664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
