Tissot 'Pontiac'

Oftentimes in the hobby of watch collecting, there can be a bit too much focus on what the hot watch of the moment might be - the piece that no one can get, or the watch that everyone wants to own purely so they can say they own it.  But in this frenzy of emphasis on what the next big windfall investment piece might be, there are literally tons of watches and brands which slip woefully under the radar. Tissot is among those brands. This particular Tissot from the 1960s is fashioned from stainless steel and features a tritium dial with applique numerals and a classic luminous 'dauphine' handset. But the highlight of this piece is undoubtedly its Pontiac provenance. Presented for an employee's 20 years of service to the marque, this piece has the Pontiac logo on the dial, and an engraved caseback confirming its history. While we love watches with stories, pieces with engravings and dial logos have always had a special place in our hearts. With our passion for automotive, this piece sits at the intersection of many of our interests and we know you'll appreciate it too! Plus, this piece comes with its hangtags still affixed!
