The acclaimed actor and singer is an inspiration and role model to countless youth in and out of China, where he is often the top-ranking and most engaging celebrity on platforms such as Weibo.

We both share a drive to always do better; to always deliver more out of ourselves and break boundaries. It is the devotion and persistence on excellence in watchmaking that drives ZENITH to unceasingly surpass itself, just like I try to do in all my endeavors. Together with ZENITH, I will continue to pursue my dream – against all odds.”
ZENITH: TIME TO REACH YOUR STAR.
ZENITH exists to inspire individuals to pursue their dreams and make them come true – against all odds. Since its establishment in 1865, ZENITH became the first watch manufacture in the modern sense of the term, and its watches have accompanied extraordinary figures that dreamt big and strived to achieve the impossible – from Louis Blériot’s history-making flight across the English Channel to Felix Baumgartner’s record-setting stratospheric free-fall jump. ZENITH is also highlighting visionary and trailblazing women – past and present – by celebrating their accomplishments and creating in 2020 its first-ever collection dedicated entirely to them, Defy Midnight.
With innovation as its guiding star, ZENITH features exceptional in-house developed and manufactured movements in all its watches. Since the creation of the El Primero in 1969, the world’s first automatic chronograph calibre, ZENITH has gone on to master fractions of the second with the Chronomaster Sport and its 1/10th of a second precision and the DEFY 21 with a precision of 1/100th of a second. ZENITH has been shaping the future of Swiss watchmaking since 1865, accompanying those who dare to challenge themselves and break barriers. The time to reach your star is now.
