ZENO-WATCH BASEL: Successful 'Gentlemen' Collection is Being Expanded

If men wish to refer to themselves as gentlemen, this entails a certain degree of expectation with regard to their appearance. ZENO-WATCH BASEL is therefore expanding its successful 1950s-style watch collection of that very name, bringing a range of mechanical watches, including chronographs and three-hand watches, to the market. In those days, as is still the case today, gentlemen placed great importance on quality and diligent workmanship, as well as elegance. ZENO-WATCH BASEL has applied the attributes of fine watchmaking and now it is up to the gentleman to decide whether he wants to appear simply elegant or whether he wants to exude a somewhat sportier touch of elegance. With the expanded Gentlemen watch line, ZENO-WATCH BASEL has created a collection that meets every requirement, successfully emphasizing the contemporary style of today's modern man. The watches, with their striking housing starting at 42 mm in diameter, look sporty, yet also elegant thanks to their classically styled features. Both the chronograph and the three-hand watch are fitted with mechanical precision clockwork mechanisms with automatic winding and are available with either a stainless steel or a PVD gold plated stainless steel housing. The transparent back plate provides a view of the pulsating movements of the mechanical inner workings.
