Story
In 1977, the Swiss watch industry was in a fight for its life against cheap, mass-produced electronics from overseas.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1853 in the Jura Mountains, Tissot has a legacy of 'firsts,' including the first mass-produced pocket watch and the first non-magnetic watch.
Condition & Value
The gold plating shows honest wear and 'brassing' on the sharp edges of the lugs, consistent with decades of use. Value for these early Tissot quartz models is rising as collectors begin to appreciate 'transitional' electronic history.
