Stylish functionality
IT IS often said that there is no place like home.
This rings true in the case of the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Skeleton – a watch named after the very location of which it was manufactured.
Chemin des Tourelles is the street on which the Tissot factory was built in 1907 and where the company still remains today.
As such, its namesake timepiece takes pride in the watchmaker’s origins and reflects more than 160 years of expertise.
The watch features openworking, an absent dial and a skeletonised chapter ring upon which rose gold indexes have been applied. A 43mm case houses a hand- wound mechanical movement that is exclusive to Tissot.
Another exciting timepiece to look out for during Time Kulture is the Quickster Lugano.
This understated addition to the sporty Quickster family still features an uncluttered dial, but with an addition of a striped nautical- inspired NATO strap.
Paying tribute to the beautiful Swiss lake of Lugano, it calls to mind long, sunny days by the water.
The watch comes with three different straps: one with white lines on a blue base, the vice versa, and an all- blue version.
The Lady Heart Automatic on the other hand, not only looks beautiful but is also a timepiece to be taken seriously.
It houses the Tissot Powermatic 80 movement, which not only demonstrates ultimate precision but also has 80 hours of power reserve.
The sophisticated onyx dial is embellished with a charming flower that hints at the brilliant workings beneath.
Upon a closer look, a dazzling diamond buried in the flower’s petals is observable – a sumptuous reminder that functional should never be frumpy.
Lastly, there is the T- Touch Expert Solar.
In touch with the technology it bears, the design is truly modern and dynamic with strong lines, whether straight or angular.
The push buttons are given an ergonomic aspect, while the milling provides the strap a better grip.
The rays of light on the dial not only allow the Super- LumiNova indices and hands to glow in the dark but to recharge the watch.
It is a very powerful watch in every aspect, offering essential functions for everyday use.
These include a perpetual calendar with indication of day and week number to keep track of busy schedules, two alarms – one for the week, the other for the weekend, and two time zones for holiday trips.
It even provides weather forecast with relative pressure, altimeter with difference meter, chronograph lap and split with logbook, compass, timer, azimuth, regatta function and backlight.
