For vintage lovers, the launch of any re-edition is both a blessing and a curse. It does recognize the beauty of a piece from the past, but at the same time the new interpretation often involks disappointment over any change from what was seen by many as already perfect. To be fair, any watchmaker finds itself in a tricky position when assessing how much modern spin is required in these circumstances. There is no real way to appease everybody, and any design decision will be judiciously considered from many angles. Yet, the strong emotional response triggered is also the best asset for any re-edition, rarely do they meet polite indifference (the worst possible reaction for any new product). The Zenith Cronometro Tipo CP 2 is about as interesting a re-edition as you’ll find and a perfect watch to look at when considering why and how a watch of this sort comes to life.
