A great video covering Zenith's revolutionary new movement.

Very interesting. I am anxious to see what the accuracy and service specs are on the watches as they are delivered in 2018.

So am I, however in my opinion the silicone movement lacks soul. However, with the low amplitude and high frequency it should be very accurate.

Don't care about ultimate accuracy, if I did I would have a quartz watch, same for cars and bikes, I like old ones which have soul, my first Harley in 1989 had a carburator, my new one has injection, the old one had more soul, though the new one is more reliable or accurate if you will, my watches are new but the 40+ pieces instead of one give it the soul that these Zeniths, IMO will lack, and visually will be much less appealing

One of my favorite watch reporters on youtube actually. Thanks

We think alike, I still have and love my '68 BSA Spitfire with its drum brakes, carbs and points.

You are most welcome! Yes, I happened to stumble upon him while researching the movement. He has great enthusiasm combined with knowledge.

I like this development, mainly because it brings more simplicity and precision to a purely mechanical watch.

I'd like to see it in normal looking watches, though.

Yes, it is truly an incredible horological evolution, made possible by current technology, that no doubt will lead to the production of far more accurate and inexpensive to produce (and maintain) mechanical movements, but sadly it lacks the elegance and beauty of the classic lever, balance, and balance spring movement.
