Stemming from five years of intense development, this complication represents one of the major landmarks in 21st century watchmaking: the gyroscopic module named "Gravity Control", a revolutionary system patented by Zenith. It is certainly no coincidence that the Academy Christophe Colomb Équation du Temps won the 2011 "Best Complicated Watch Prize", the star category in the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix which is the most highly coveted international award in the watchmaking world.

THE ACADEMY CHRISTOPHE COLOMB REPRESENTS ONE OF THE MAJOR LANDMARKS IN 21ST CENTURY WATCHMAKING

Working on the principle that maintaining the regulating organ in a horizontal position results in the best possible balance amplitude and thus generates enhanced timekeeping precision, Zenith devised a self-regulating gyroscopic module designed to ensure that the regulating organ and balance are permanently kept in this position.
