Tissot Telemeter 1938

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 is a modern beauty based on many of Tissot's most striking vintage designs back in the days of their incredible chronographs. This piece looks just like its vintage counterparts, but at a contemporary 42mm in diameter with a modern upgraded Valjoux movement. Outbound, this piece has a telemeter scale, a true rarity on watches made these days. If you love vintage designs but want something with the solidity and piece of mind of a modern watch, this is an excellent foray into the world of fine watchmaking. A brilliant look back into the historical archive, Tissot is every bit as relevant in the 2020s as in 1938, the year of this watch's namesake.
