Rising income levels and increasing purchasing power of many young affluent professionals provides an opportunity for watch manufacturers to tap substantial demand for ultra luxury watches. As an effort towards this end, global luxury-watch brands are competing with each other to introduce innovative watches with new technology, design and materials. Key luxury watch companies across the globe are focusing on meeting all the necessary prerequisites for competing with the Swiss manufacturers such as Rolex, Swatch Group and Richemont, which lord over luxury watch segment.

However, this genius timepiece above from Zenith proves the reason why - with this immaculate creation one does not have to wonder about the magnitude of the success in Luxury market. Not a timepiece that sells everyday, but innovation as such are the epitome of the Luxury world.

The Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane ($280,000) has not one but two complications that clear this bar, so we leave you unprepared when you hit the power ball.

It wont be easy to acquire or own, since it is a limited edition of 25 pieces ONLY, 45mm x 14.35mm rose gold case (21.4mm thick with domed sapphire crystal).
It may seem somewhat unusual with its “bubble” and all the visible components with impressive mechanics underlying it all.

Since its founding in Le Locle in 1865, the Manufacture Zenith has constantly pushed the boundaries of precision. A quest notably expressed through the conception of the El Primero movement beating at the exceptional frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour, followed by the invention of a gravity control system – the ultimate evolution of the marine chronometer. While the Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane combines these two guarantors of absolute precision, it adds a third enhancement, this time based on the suppression of deviations from isochronism. Its fusée-chain transmission system guarantees constant force, resulting in rigorously stable amplitude throughout the running period.
