Tissot watches have constantly been at the forefront of timekeeping and the organization has a extended association with timekeeping at key sporting activities. In 2003 Tissot became the official timekeeper for NASCAR, changing TAG Heuer. Tissot are also the official timekeepers for Grand Prix motorcycle racing as well as official timekeeper of the globe championships in MotoGP, Supercross, Fencing, Cycling and Ice Hockey.
With this pedigree, it is obvious that Tissot can take timekeeping severely, consistently pushing the bounds of technologies. Of course, Tissot is not by yourself. A lot of other watchmakers strive for leadership in a market region: Rado creating the World's hardest watch with the V10K Patek Philippe generating watches with the most complicated movements accessible in a wristwatch and Titan, makers of the World's thinnest watch - the Titan Edge. Tissot prospects the way in establishing touch-driven technologies in wristwatches, with their collection of T-Touch wristwatches.
The Tissot -Touch collection provides 8 separate functions. All of these capabilities are activated by pressing on the crown and then pressing on the touch-sensitive display screen. The functions consist of an correct Altimeter (in ft and metres), a Chronograph (split and add time), a Compass, an Alarm, a Thermometer (in C and F) and Barometer as properly as Date and Time (selection of 12H and 24H).
The Tissot T-Touch watch has a modern-day, sporty and classy design. The dial of the T-Touch comes in possibly black or blue and the casing arrives in Stainless Steel, Polished Titanium, Platinum, and Yellow or Rose Gold. The metal bracelets match the finishing of the casing, but my private favorite is the orange rubber band, which seems particularly excellent with the Stainless Steel model with orange hour marks on a black dial. Each of the gold T-Touch watches arrive with rubber band also but, to my thoughts, I really feel the darkish rubber band does not complement the gold casing.
Tissot have been also official timekeepers of the Asian Video games and to mark the event the business launched the T-Touch Asian Games 2006 watch. I really like this watch. The casing is titanium with silver dial. But what actually lends appeal to this watch is the red circle that runs on the outside of the hour marks - highlighting the a variety of touch functions - that is complemented by the red rubber band. A extremely beautiful, modern seeking watch.
The T-Touch Classic from Tissot is a really stylish watch that would be desirable no matter whether it had touch-driven engineering or not. I am a excellent enthusiast of Swiss watches, especially of manufacturers who try to include the most current technology. watch makers like Rado and Patek Philippe are desired and cherished since of the way they marry technological innovation with beauty. Tissot watches, I feel, is a single this kind of watchmaker.
