Haute Time Meets For Breakfast At The Four Seasons NYC With Zenith CEO Jean-Frederic Dufour

Upon returning from Basel World 2012, Haute Time had the opportunity to meet with Zenith CEO Jean-Frederic Dufour for a breakfast at the Four Seasons in New York City. Dufour has been with Zenith since 2009 and implementing innovative new ideas with the company. Zenith recently put out its new Pilot Collection and while Zenith has been creating aviation timepieces since the first days of flight, Dufour believes it is important to honor and see through that strong legacy.

Alain Delon’s Vintage Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Sells For €68,750

  A vintage Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo once belonging to French Actor Alain Delon sold for a record price of €68,750. The sale price is even more spectacular when taken into consideration that Delon’s Royal Oak Jumbo doesn’t have the dial with the AP logo at 6 o’clock, which the new Jumbo does have.

Last month, a sought-after A-series with 6 o’clock dial from 1972 sold for the absolute record price of €31,200—that is, until Delon’s watch came along. Delon READ MORE
