Zenith has unveiled the DEFY Skyline Tourbillon Felipe Pantone One-Off, a one-of-a-kind timepiece crafted in collaboration with renowned Valencia-based optical artist, Felipe Pantone. The exclusive watch was showcased at Phillips New York's TimeForArt auction on Dec 4, 2024, with proceeds benefiting the Swiss Institute.

Crafted in a 41mm octagonal black ceramic case, the watch features a geometric design and a striking texturised iridescent sapphire dial. The unique dial, with a striped pattern, is complemented by a visible tourbillon mechanism at 6 o'clock that completes one rotation every 60 seconds. The tourbillon bridge takes the form of a lightning bolt, a signature element of Pantone's work. The piece is further distinguished by a black ceramic bracelet, which can be swapped for an additional black rubber strap for versatility and comfort.

Pantone expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating: "I'm excited to unveil my latest collaboration with Zenith, our most exceptional watch to date. It's a masterpiece of high horology, combining simplicity and sophistication."

The DEFY Skyline Tourbillon Felipe Pantone One-Off is the latest chapter in Pantone's partnership with Zenith, which is known for its history of pushing the boundaries of watchmaking. This unique piece is a testament to both the art of timekeeping and the visionary spirit of the artist.

Zenith, which has been at the forefront of Swiss watchmaking innovation since 1865, continues to inspire individuals to pursue their dreams with the motto "Time to reach your star". The brand is also committed to social responsibility through initiatives like ZENITH HORIZ-ON, which focuses on inclusion, sustainability, and employee wellbeing.

The DEFY Skyline Tourbillon Felipe Pantone One-Off is expected to fetch significant attention as a collector's item and marks a meaningful contribution to the Swiss Institute.
