Watch of the Week: Zenith Chronomaster Original

When done well, diamonds on a watch add more than just to the price tag. This is a delicate exercise that is not that easy to accomplish. It is all about finding the right balance and incorporate the precious stones in such a way that they elevate the watch as a whole and create synergy with its design. With the new Chronomaster Orginal, Zenith is giving a master class on how to achieve this. What is most interesting is that they only need sixty-five brilliant-cut stones to make a dazzling display. Fifty-six are used for the lugs, with an additional nine as hour markers on the dial. They seem like details, but the impact is profound.
