To mark the 50th anniversary of the El Primero caliber, as well as the launch of the first watch to have featured the El Primero Ref. A384, Zenith is bringing back a historically accurate re-creation of one of the most significant chronographs ever made. We take a detailed first look at this watch in The Return of the First El Primero by Roger Ruegger. Baselworld has described 2019 as ?a transitional year? for the largest and most important show in the watch industry, which had to adapt without brands from groups like Kering, Haidian, Movado and, most importantly, the Swatch Group being present. The fair also revealed the dominant trends in watchmaking, which our editors highlight in a 22-page section covering 36 watch brands.
