Reassurance from Tissot

I think it is sometimes to easy to look at the here and now and pass a quick judgement.  If we were to look solely at the PR and limited/special editions that Tissot is churning out these days, it would perhaps be too easy for us to lose sight of the fact that Tissot does make some very attractive, very classic watches.

This is the Visodate, 40 mm of rose gold goodness.  Day, date, classic.
Inside ETA's Automatic 2836-2 keeps the rhythm.

Thank you Tissot for continuing to offer watches like this.

What watch would Jimmy Stewart wear?

One of my all-time favorite movies is Rear Window with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly.  The imagery of that film - all shot in the confines of a small studio apartment - it was something!  Of course both Mr. Hitchcock was at his directorial best, and as someone who has spent a significant part of his adult life in small apartments, his staging was accurate.  Moreover, as the son of a fashion designer  I can say that Edith Head was spot-on with the costumes, etc.

There was a scene at one point where L.B. "Jeff" Jeffries is examining his watch - a Tissot.  I realize that this one is not it, but it really does remind me of it.

Tissot has a wonderful practice of releasing historic models based on models from its past, and this Visodate is a member of that exclusive group.
