The rate of vibrations per second for Zenith Christophe Colomb is completely independent of its wearer’s movements

Christened in tribute to Christopher Columbus, Zenith Christophe Colomb relates to the very nature of this ultra-complex model which addresses one of the key issues that faced this adventurous seafarer and still haunts the contemporary watch industry to this day: how to achieve precision measurements with instruments that are subjected to constant motion that is detrimental to their accuracy.

The tourbillon was specifically designed to compensate for the effects of gravity on the precision of pocket watches, wristwatches move through constantly varying positions and thus required an entirely different approach. Given the well-known fact that keeping the regulating organ in a horizontal position generates the best possible amplitude of the balance and thus considerably enhances timing precision, Manufacture ZENITH decided to ensure that the regulating organ and the escapement were indeed permanently kept in this position. The rate of vibrations per second for this watch is completely independent of its wearer’s movements.
