An authentic icon of Swiss watchmaking, the Tissot T-Touch pays tribute to Switzerland.
The tactile and multifunctional electronic watch Tissot T-Touch has continuously evolved, winning over wearers everywhere, and celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. The first stage of the celebration of this Tissot range starts with the launch of the T-Touch Swiss Edition (T-Touch Solar Expert 2), a tribute to the population of the Swiss mountains.
Having revolutionised watchmaking by launching the first touchable watch in 1999, Tissot which always combines its innovative spirit with tradition, has consistently developed and defied expectations.
The T-Touch Expert Solar 2 stands out with its satin titanium body crowned by a chocolate brown ceramic bezel. Its strap is cut from pieces of brown leather with beige-cream overstitching. By combining both colours and materials, it has created an allusion to old-fashioned climbing equipment. A watch that has been designed for a mountain adventure, hiking, via ferrata or summer sledding, itallows users to take full advantage of the features of the T-Touch Expert 2 platform, including its solar recharge.
The touchable watch showcases the hard-working and courageous culture of the mountains with two Swiss emblems. The first one is engraved on the back of TTouch Swiss Edition as the coat of arms of the Swiss Confederation. It is also present on the fabric lining of this special edition’s wooden presentation box.
The second is a detail – both visible and discreet. Located on the upper part of the dial, the section containing the photovoltaic cells which supply the T-Touch Expert Solar 2, Tissot has printed a pattern consisting of edelweiss and vertical bands. The model comes from the traditional costume of armailli shepherds who have made the Alpine pastures their home.
Tissot, which established its foundation in 1853, always includes the cultural heritage of Switzerland and continues to write its history the same way.
