I've only heared that Zeno made some models for Trias and have seen some items with Zeno logo on the rotor (hidden under the steel case back) but i don't know when they stopped to or if they ever made one fully (you can get the movements with logo on their own if you have good relations). The message on the Zeno website is quite new, and Mr. Daniel Lieser (the owner of Trias) does not offer Zeno any more (he did before). I guess they've put too much pressure on the market by seeling Zeno retail models in a wholesale style to every online stores that also sells Trias, if it's a reputated one or not and regardless of the pricing. The Trias main online shop acts as a mastershop (template) to several others that are linked directly and get products from there, even some eBay stores are linked as far as in know.
So every 'i know that a watch shows the time' guy can sell them.

Trias has an extremly mixed range of products, mostly produced in Asia as far as i know. Mr. Lieser is in business since about 10 years and has really fantastic connections especially to Hong Kong. At the 2005 Baselworld we've even met him as an exhibitor for an Hong Kong based company ;) (maybe one of his own). They also produce several other brands on clients order in Asia.

The logic behind the use of Zeno and Zeno Watch Basel is unknown to me, they still make both brandings, i'll ask Mr. Huber the next time i met him (end of August probably) but don't expect an answer, he's sometimes like an oyster.
