Tissot’s Le Locle collection brings a new dimension to its family of automatic watches, paying tribute to the brand’s alpine town of the Le Locle, Switzerland. Each model showcases a commitment to traditional craftmanship, with designs that range from refined elegance to timeless classicism. Thought this collection, Tissot encapsulates its heritage wile offering a refined selection for today’s discerning wearer.
A 20-year celebration of Swiss precision and design
Celebrating two decades of the Le Locle collection, Tissot’s Le Locle Powermatic 80 20th Anniversary Edition amplifies its timeless appeal. The 39mm case is crafted from polished stainless steel, which in combination with the slender 10mm profile creates a subtle, understated look. The dial showcases an embossed Clous de Paris pattern at the centre, surrounded by a chapter ring with applied blue Roman numerals. A ladies’ version of this special 20th Anniversary Edition is also available, featuring a dial set with Esselton diamonds for a hint of luxury.
Within the Tissot Le Locle collection, the “standard” Powermatic 80 models offer designs that mirror the 20th Anniversary Edition, albeit with a range of color variations including black, blue, gray and white dials. These models replace the blue Arabic numerals with silver alternatives, providing a more understated yet equally sophisticated look. Each model is powered by the in-house Powermatic 80 movement, which ensures an 80-hour power reserve. The most captivating feature is the exhibition caseback, which reveals an intricate engraving that adds to the watch’s elegance.
Tissot Le Locle HIGHLIGHTS
Timeless chic
The Tissot Le Locle collection at Time + Tide also features an elegant ladies’ model, perfect for those in search of a stylish dress watch. Its luxurious mother-of-pearl dial is adorned with 12 sparkling diamond hour markers, making it a versatile accessory for any outfit. Encased in a 316L stainless steel with a sophisticated rose gold PVD coating, this timepiece achieves an exquisite balance of elegance and durability. With its delicate 29mm case, this watch is as much as piece of jewelry as it is a timekeeper.
Refined and reveal
A big highlight of the Tissot Le Locle collection is the stylish Open Heart model, equipped with the same Powermatic-based movement found across the series. It retains all the hallmark specifications and design cues of the other models but adds a refined touch: a circular cutout beneath the 12 o’clock position that reveals the balance and hairspring in action. This refined piece is finished with a leather strap with an alligator-like texture.
