After three years since the last official summer party season in Ibiza, the Balearic island is ecstatically welcoming back partygoers from around the world. A mainstay on the revered party island, ZENITH friend of the brand Carl Cox is finally back in his element behind the decks and in front of euphoric live crowds. ZENITH and RABAT invited guests as well as members of the press to experience an intimate private party with the legendary English electronic music pioneer at the NOBU Hotel’s rooftop.
On this special get-together, ZENITH CEO Julien Tornare shared, “This is something that we’ve been wanting to do for a long time, and I am thrilled that we’re finally able to share this exceptional moment with our dear friends RABAT and Carl Cox in Ibiza”.
Carl Cox added, “It‘s an absolute pleasure to be back in Ibiza this summer. Sharing the spirit of the island with my friends from ZENITH while overlooking Talamanca Bay was magical. It’s moments like these when we remember how important it is to cherish the good times.”
Jordi Rabat, CEO and president of RABAT, a high jewelry brand and leader in watch distribution, stated, “We are truly delighted to have been able to celebrate ZENITH’s strong momentum and the spirit of the island of Ibiza with someone as legendary as Carl Cox. Offering unique experiences to our clients is what it’s all about”.
A summer full of colours - Defy 21 Chroma
Colour is light; colour is emotion. Like the flashing strobes at a rave or a dreamy sunset on the beach, the DEFY 21 Chroma exhibits vivid colours in a most unexpected way. Crafted in a pure white ceramic case, the DEFY 21 Chroma stands out with its open dial giving way to a whole spectrum of colours on the automatic 1/100th of a second chronograph movement, with a perfectly transitioning gradient of colours spanning the entire rainbow marking the dial as well as the strap and crown. This chromatically playful limited edition of 200 pieces is now available at ZENITH boutiques and authorized retailers.
Following the light - Defy Skyline
The boldest yet most versatile line within the modernistic DEFY collection, the DEFY Skyline draws inspiration from the unique octagonal geometry of the early DEFY models without attempting to merely recreate the past. It is crafted in an octagonal steel case with a faceted bezel, featuring the Manufacture’ first patterned dial revisiting the emblematic four-pointed star found in past Zenith references. It is powered by a high-frequency automatic El Primero
manufacture movement with the very first 1/10th of a second indicator. Effortlessly adapting to any situation, the quick strap-change mechanism allows for easy switching between the steel bracelet and provided straps.
On the beat - Defy 21 Carl Cox
Also making a rare appearance at the party was Carl Cox’s eponymous limited edition of the DEFY 21, a 1/100th of a second chronograph that moves to the tempo of the superstar DJ. Befitting the Ibiza summer spirit with parties from sunset to sunrise and beyond, the DEFY 21 Carl Cox Edition features a glow-in-the-dark carbon fiber bezel and strap stitching, with a miniature vinyl record as a seconds indicator on the open.
