Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Squelette Watch
As a brand, Tissot really seems to be on quite a tear as of late. They have had quite a few notable new releases over the last few months, and now we are getting word of a sort of second wave. Most of them seem like reasonable additions to the lineup, but there is one in particular that caught our attention: the Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Squelette.As you can quite readily tell from the photos here, this is a skeleton watch (and that's what squelette translates to from French ¨C skeleton). I've been spending more time looking at and thinking about skeleton watches in the last year or so, and I have come to the conclusion that they are particularly hard to do.

So you are bored.....
with watches these days? weeks ago, a discussion was made about how we are getting a little 'unfascinated' with the watch industry. do you still feel the same 3 weeks later? What are you really hoping to see? big boys new creation OR just something unheard of yet with a interesting design/history?Sure big boys have the budget to do great marketing and positioning of the brand name. and able to give cutting edge technology and incorporate rare materials like palladium and platinum in the watches.but today i see another side of small watchmaking town. This is just a little insight to what I did today. I am really sorry no pictures, I cant upload anything here. Will do so in 2 weeks time when I am back. P.S.
