Story
The year 2000 marked a pivotal moment for Tissot as they took on the monumental task of timing the Sydney Olympic Games, a feat requiring precision down to the millisecond.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1853 in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland, Tissot has a legacy of 'firsts,' including the first mass-produced pocket watch and the first anti-magnetic watch.
Condition & Value
The watch shows heavy signs of use, particularly deep scratches on the crystal which obscure the dial. Value is driven by the Olympic branding and the Tissot name, but is currently limited by the heavy scratching on the crystal and bezel wear.
