Tissot has unveiled three new skeleton-dialled watches in its classic Chemin des Tourelles collection.
The watches are the latest additions to the growing dress watch collection that pays tribute to Tissot’s origin story.
Chemin des Tourelles – literally “the path of the turrets”, or Turret Road – is the small street in the Swiss watchmaking hub of Le Locle, where Tissot was founded back in the early 1900s.
The collection was enhanced last year with the introduction of a new automatic movement, and now Tissot has brought out three with partially skeletonised dials, which they are calling “a transparent vision of time”.
There is a blue dial model with sandblasted and polished dauphine hands along with clous de paris patterns and styled with Roman numeral indices. It is paired with a five-link bracelet.
A second model has a sunray ivory-coloured dial, complemented by yellow-gold PVD baton indices and ivory dots in between. Encased in a stainless-steel case, it is worn on a high-quality patina khaki grained leather strap.
Finally there is a stealthy black PVD version with a sunray dial and subtly smoked glass. With baton indices, nickled dots for minutes, and a black grained-leather strap
All three have Swatch’s Powermatic 80 automatic movement with Nivachron hairspring and 80 hour power reserve.
The 39mm case is topped with a domed sapphire crystal, along with a sapphire crystal caseback, and is water-resistant to 50m.
These new additions to Tissot’s most classically styled collection are priced from £835. tissotwatches.com
