Watch Special

Meet the CEOs of Zenith, Roger Dubuis, & Miami’s Ernst Benz Le City Deluxe had the pleasure of meeting the driving forces behind Zenith, Roger Dubuis and Ernst Benz

Le City Deluxe USA is thrilled to launch the third edition with an extraordinary Watch Special: a series of exclusive interviews with the CEOs of the world’s most luxurious watch brands. During BASELWORLD, The World Watch and Jewelry Show in Switzerland, Le City Deluxe had the pleasure of meeting the driving forces behind Zenith, Roger Dubuis and Ernst Benz amongst others. While the three timepiece companies are very distinctive in their own notable ways, they share a mutual passion for the craft of watchmaking. Each one vows to deliver quality and style to the watch enthusiasts.

Zenith watches have come a long way since their first manufactured chronograph in 1899, but to this day, it continues its legacy of excellence which can be especially noted in the five of its luxury collections. Zenith’s original pilot watches are crafted during complex processes in which over 2,500 operations are preformed

by over 300 pairs of highly qualified craftsmen’s hands. Each watch is truly a work of art that shows the intense but delicate process each piece goes through to be created.

Similarly to Zenith, Ernst Benz is renowned for its ability to innovate a timeless classic.

Inspired by the vintage chronographs from the Second World War, the namesake of the company began producing aviation watches.

Since its first conception in the 1970s, the piloting chronograph, has become a guiding light for the company’s contemporary models.

Unlike its counterparts, Roger Dubuis is a fairly new company, but that doesn’t reflect on the caliber of their creations. The Swiss watchmaker is the only manufacturer that has the Hallmark of Geneva which to the company, signifies a starting point on its odyssey for eminence
