Zenith Starissime Star Tourbillon El Primero watch

The Zenith Starissime Star Tourbillon El Primero watch is a dazzling achievement of both the jewelry and watchmaking arts.

Uniting Abraham-Louis Breguet's famed tourbillon complication within a white gold case which boasts over eight carats of baguette diamonds, this Zenith timepiece is a staggering statement of luxury and superlative craftsmanship for women who desire rare objects of the utmost beauty and exclusive nature.

Every detail that comprises the Zenith Starissime Star Tourbillon El Primero watch dazzles the eye. The 40mm case is crafted from 18K white gold, its generous size a perfect canvas for the dazzling gem-setting which this timepiece demonstrates. The bezel, the lugs, and even the sides of the case are entirely set with square baguette-cut diamonds which have been painstakingly selected for their superb color and clarity. The mother of pearl dial is equally dazzling, being made from white mother of pearl, and featuring exploded Arabic hour markers which are entirely set with round brilliant diamonds. The aperture which partially reveals the rotating tourbillon device frames a large star which is adorned with four large kite-shaped diamonds. The spaces which would ordinarily be occupied by chronograph subdials have been replaced with fanciful rotating white gold stars, which revolve to highlight the fanciful nature of this exotic creation which merges both haute horlogerie and haute horlogerie.

A luxurious strap made from the distinctively pebbled skin of stingray joins the watch to the wrist, being completed by a white gold triple-deployant clasp. The Zenith Starissime Star Tourbillon El Primero watch is animated by a highly complex self-winding movement.

Designed and manufactured by Zenith, the exclusive El Primero 4029 movement features a fully-integrated chronograph mechanism controlled by a column-wheel. It also features a tourbillon which rotates upon its own axis once per minute to assist in negating the effects of gravity upon the escapement. This prestigious complication, considered one of the great accomplishments of high luxury watchmaking is made even more special by the unique balance frequency of 36,000 alternations per hour. Much faster than any competitive tourbillon from other prestige watchmakers, this technical point places the Zenith Star Tourbillon El Primero watch in a unique class by itself. A sapphire crystal caseback permits unhindered admiration of this watchmaking exemplar, with its complex mechanical architecture. The spectacular winding rotor, crafted from solid gold, has been set with diamonds, for a dazzling compliment to the high jewelry theme which defines this extraordinary creation of the watchmaking arts.
