[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!
To answer your subject question, yes.
As for the quartz v. automatic/mechanical question, part of that has to do with the differences in ease of manufacture between quartz movements and mechanicals. Mechanicals have more parts and are generally more expensive/complex to produce and thus demand higher prices.
