A History of Tissot
What do a 140 year old Russian Czar and Racer Danica Patrick have in common?These days Tissot is known for its sponsorship of racers like NASCAR's Danica Patrick, and for its unique, high-tech / high touch (couldn't resist) T-Touch watches. But the brand has a history as storied as any of its contemporaries, being founded at the half-way point of the 19th Century, selling watches throughout pre-WWI Czarist Russia, and being half of the 1930 merger with Omega which formed the Pre-Swatch Group SSIH.That merger and its 50+ year aftermath is probably what saved Tissot's bacon, and enabled it to remain the current and innovative brand we know today.Early HistoryChs Tissot & Fils was founded in Le Locle, in the Jura region of Switzerland in 1853 by the locally born & bred father-son duo of Charles-F¨¦licien Tissot and Charles-¨¦mile Tissot. As with most Swiss watch companies founded in that era, Tissot began life as a comptoir, an assembler of parts procured from individual makers in t

Excel file for tracking watch accuracy
https://spreadsheets.google/ccc?...thkey=CJzA0uMDThis is the link for an excel file I made. You only have to enter how many seconds your watch gains or looses each day. There is a place for daily notes but they are optional. The gray areas are the only ones you can change, everything else is locked so you can't mess anything up. Read the criteria page. There is a chart for all five criteria. I did a lot of thinking on the limits for the testing. Each criteria has it's limits. These were set for the real world accuracy of an automatic as it is worn, unlike COSC which is a static test with very little disruption in the beat rate of the watch. If yours passes THIS test it will serve you well.enjoyCecil

The Stem of the Problem

Watch for my wife
To try to make up for a number of missed gift occasions, I had the idea that I might get my wife an AP RO. She's quite small, so I'm looking at the 33mm or 37mm ROs. However, visiting the AD and taking a look at the models they had left me a bit underwhelmed. Perhaps because it was swaddled in a quick layer of plastic, the 33mm 67650 just looked and felt a bit cheap - also, buying a quartz AP doesn't quite sit right with me. The 37mm 15450 was more appealing, but also didn't really sing to me (mind, I didn't have a chance to check out the new blue dial, which looks great in photos).I'm now thinking I should also take a look at the PP 7118. I would be interested in other members' thoughts on AP ROs for women, the 7118, or suggestions of other brands/models I should be looking at. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
