The Gentleman’s Guide to Groomsman Gifts
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

When I was a groomsman in my twenties, I was too broke for gifts. The best I could offer was a thoughtful card and a colorful toast after the wine started flowing. Youthful charm more or less excused showing up empty-handed—along with overindulging in Champagne and making passes at bridesmaids. As I approach forty, however, it’s not quite as cute.

The Chronomaster line has existed to showcase El Primero, the automatic chronograph movement Zenith launched in 1969. Its famous for its 5 Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour) high-frequency beat and its ability to time down to a tenth of a second. Every Chronomaster before this one basically built its entire identity around that stopwatch function.
