A Closer Look at the Tissot Le Locle

There are watches and then there are watches. What about one like the Tissot Le Locle, a beautiful example of modern-day watchmaking? Perhaps one of the things that many people are most surprised about when it comes to this watch is that there is so much variety. This particular line up of watches made by Tissot doesn’t incorporate just one or two variations of the same watch. Instead, there are dozens of different products that you can choose from, made for both men and women.

A Watch That is Designed to Meet Your Needs

Going by appearances alone, this is a watch clearly designed to meet your needs. You can get a variety of different styles, shapes and sizes, all with this same exact model. For example, you might choose a watch with a metal band that has a matching metal face. On the other hand, you could keep that same band and then incorporate a face that is a much darker color for contrast. Some people might choose to do away with the metal band altogether, opting instead for a leather strap. In some cases, the aforementioned metal band is a single color. In others, it incorporates notes of both silver and gold. Furthermore, the watch can be purchased in styles that fit men as well as slightly smaller, more elegant styles that are perfect for women.

It’s About the Quality

These watches are stunning to look at and no one would ever argue that fact. However, there is so much more to them. For starters, they’re handcrafted. They are not made on some assembly line in a factory, with machines mindlessly applying one part after the other. Instead, they are all carefully pieced together by expert watchmakers who have been training in their craft for years. These particular watches utilize the same techniques as any other Swiss watchmaker would use. As such, they are designed to keep excellent time and to last. When you buy a watch like this, you’re not just buying a watch. You’re buying something that will potentially last you for a lifetime. If you take good care of it, you might even be able to give this watch to your son or daughter one day. When you go to some big-box store and purchase a watch for $20, this isn’t something that you could even think about doing and to be honest, why would you want to? Here, it’s all about quality and longevity.

Subtle Styling

Another thing that makes this watch unique is the fact that it’s designed to be subtly elegant. What it isn’t designed to do is get the attention of someone halfway across the room because it’s so ostentatious that people can’t help but stare at it. Some watchmakers have started to make watches that look very different from a traditional watch and if that’s what you’re looking for, there’s nothing wrong with that. That said, there really is something to behold about an elegant, traditional watch that is more understated than anything else. The watch is able to stand on its own and its elegance speaks for itself. With this particular watch, you have classic styling that makes it very unique, but you don’t have to see how the internal components of the watch are operating because it’s just a skeleton, nor do you have to impress your friends with a watch that is capable of changing color every two minutes. Here, it’s all about something that is able to stand on its own in a variety of situations. The watchmaker didn’t have to resort to outlandish techniques in order to make this watch appealing. You can tell at first glance that it is something of quality, a piece that is meant to be added to one’s wardrobe instead of taking center stage. In this simplicity, there is beauty. When you stop and think about it, the appearance of the watch is just like its mechanical function. It’s all very well thought-out and elegant, but it’s done in such a way that it doesn’t have to be over-the-top in order for it to work. In a world where virtually everything is bigger and better for the sole purpose of out doing the competition, it’s a wonderful thing to see a watchmaker who is still focusing on quality and elegance as opposed to making a watch that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Variety

Another thing that makes this watch work well is that you can wear it in a number of different situations. This is especially true when you consider the fact that you can get a number of different varieties of the watch with different colors, shapes and band styles, as previously mentioned. As a result, this watch works just as well with a suit as it works for a casual dinner out. In fact, it works so well for a variety of different situations that you could conceivably buy this watch and nothing else, yet never have a situation where that particular watch is out of place on your wrist. That means you can wear it in the boardroom or to an elegant event one day and wear it to a golf outing the next.

There is no doubt that this particular watch harkens back to a time when things were less complicated than they tend to be these days. Here, it’s all about creating something that is a true masterpiece. Some would definitely consider it a work of art. Others might consider the watch to be something of a workhorse. In reality, it is all of these things and more. The fact that you can purchase one that incorporates the perfect style to suit your needs only serves to make it even more valuable. It’s no wonder that so many people from all different walks of life are interested in getting their hands on one of these watches.
