awesome movement!...this is what it's all about for me,what's inside...
For me to Oscar! That's why I presented it.
Mr Leibungut seems to be a movement fanatic I bet he learned some great basics while working for Zenith: He name the Primero when speaking about his time there and it's a serious reference about "know how".
This Royal caliber been conceived with love.
I also found out that the horologist Mr Ludovic Perez who been involved in the making of the Royal caliber, is sharing patents with Mr Robert Greubel and Mr Stefen Forsey, the principal actors of the famous Greubel&Forsey masterpieces.
Let's say that it's a serious reference who talks from itself.
He also has numerous patents shared with Mr Huy Van Tran on the count of Pequignet.
To complete the circle, here's a little passage about Mr Leibungut who amused me: Specially it's ending... And it says much about the man and his feelings about movements.
"...Later, in 1994, he became director of Zenith France, followed by international director of marketing for Zenith until the brand was acquired by LVMH in 2001.
Leibundgut (who had based his marketing strategy on the El Primero movement which was known as one of the best in its category—didn’t it drive the famous Daytona by Rolex?) was told, in a rather condescending manner, by his new employer that “we don’t sell movements; we sell watches.” In 2003, he left Zenith and purchased Pequignet."
