All
in good time Surely when playing one of those word linkage 
games,
it were said the word “Switzerland”, the most frequent answer would be
chocolate and watches. Surely a satisfying result since abroad the most
frequent linkage to our country are spaghetti and Mafia. Indeed Switzerland
is the unquestionable homeland of the watch industry being several the
watches brands beyond Alps. Some of them recently formed, other 
instead
as Zenith with an ancient tradition. Indeed it was in the far 1865 that
Georges Favre-Jacot, when he was only 22 years old, founded the Zenith
Manufacture of watches. Favre-Jacot was one of the firsts to understand
the 
importance
of the interchangeability of the components to rationalize production
and liability of mechanical watches. Another basic step of the Swiss industry
was in 1969 by introducing El Primero, that is 
the
first chronograph automatic movement produced all over the world and the
only one able to measure the short times till 1/10 second, thanks to the
employ of balance wheels oscillating at a frequency of 36'000 alternations
per hour. Besides the El Primero the Zenith's research has realized another
movement, called Elite, whose elegant geometry, featured by an ultra straight
movement, performs out of common characteristics of functioning, liability
and exactness. Those mechanisms are the core of the watches lines (the
Zenith's watches), among which we report the Chronomaster El Primero and
the Chronomaster Elite where elegance and care of details are brought
to the utmost.
