[Tissot Gentleman T1274071104100] Is Tissot a good brand to get into luxury watches with?
(alien.top)
I daily an Apple Watch but have been increasingly interested in getting a nice dress watch.
My dream watch is the Rolex Datejust with the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel, but I don’t have 12-14k to cough up for one.
Looking at some of the other brands, even a few grand on a luxury watch is a bit much for me for anything similar (Tudor, seiko, omega etc. I never knew those brands were in the thousands).
I found this Tissot and I think it’s gorgeous, but I don’t know too much about the brand. This watch is the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium Automatic, which runs $825. The Quartz model is half the price, $425, so I’m curious what the major difference is to demand double for the automatic.
Thank you!
Very good watches for the price, from a huge watch conglomerate called Swatchgroup.
Not many things can match their value because of the huge group behind, and the sheer volumes they output. Also whenever there's issue with the watch, the warranty process is solid and available pretty much worldwide. Unlike from many smaller or more original brands.
Current generations of Powermatic movements especially with antimagnetic hairsprings are very good and effortless too, almost always giving chronometer specs accurarcy, with long 80 hour power reserve.
You might not win any originality or impression awards using a Tissot, as some might think they lack some "soul". But it's a good watch. Tells that you're a sensible no-nonsense guy or gal, shows that you respect tradition and quality, but without overspending too much.
