Zenith is expanding the Defy Skyline collection with a new skeleton and a special boutique edition
JONATHAN HO
Sky's The Limit

INTRODUCED LAST YEAR as Zenith's latest salvo in the highly competitive integrated bracelet segment, the Defy Skyline collection set a new benchmark for time-only models in that market category by basing its introductory calibre on the vaunted highfrequency El Primero movement. For LVMH watch week 2023, the Le Locle brand is building upon that foundational pillar with a more structured, openworked model of the inaugural Defy Skyline.

Still featuring that iconic 1/10th of a second indicator, the new Defy Skyline Skeleton stands out with its star-shaped open dial and incredible symmetry. It calls to mind yet another Zenith novelty sharing similar aesthetics, a deep-diving (300 to 600 metres) model with an angular octagonal case and a crazy tetradecagonal bezel dubbed 'Defy' from 1969.

Nicknamed 'vault', this beast of a watch was not only robust and fitted with a patented suspension system and flexible elastic shock-absorbing rings but also with a radically edgy architecture.

August Men Of Tomorrow

In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
