Zenith CEO Benoît de Clerck on Watches & Wonders 2026, the Chronomaster Sport Skeleton and G.F.J.

In this interview, Zenith CEO Benoît de Clerck discusses the brand’s key Watches & Wonders 2026 releases, from the open-worked Chronomaster Sport Skeleton with its high-frequency El Primero 3600 SK to the more historically grounded G.F.J. line built around the legendary Calibre 135. The conversation moves beyond launch rhetoric and looks at what these watches reveal about Zenith today: a brand balancing contemporary sports chronographs with a renewed interest in chronometric heritage and material expression. Among the most notable pieces are the G.F.J. versions in yellow gold and tantalum, the latter paired with an onyx dial, baguette-cut diamond indexes, and a mother-of-pearl small seconds display, while the yellow-gold version features a bloodstone dial.
