Zenith opened its first store in Malaysia in The Exchange TRX Kuala Lumpur last September. This is good news for local fans of the brand because it now provides them with access to the brand’s iconic timepieces, now conveniently available in store.
To commemorate the moment, Zenith offered three exclusive watch models that were available only for purchase in this particular boutique. This included the Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar Boutique Edition with a green dial, the Defy Skyline Boutique Edition with rose gold accents, and the limited edition Defy Skyline Tourbillon by Felipe Pantone.
The boutique limited edition pieces are impressive in their own right, but the star of the day had to be the tourbillon version of Pantone’s latest collaboration with the brand. Just like its namesake, the tourbillon itself takes center stage, eclipsed only by the sapphire dial micro-engraved with concentric circles.
Couple all that with the rainbow indices, the lightning bolt motifs, and the star rotor with a rainbow finish, and you have a timepiece that you would not want to peel your eyes off of.
The Men’s Folio team wanted to know more about the artist and his work, so we sat Pantone down and asked him about his latest collaboration with Zenith.
