The sight of a man slipping his hands into his trousers to reach out for a pocket watch and read time is from an era gone by. However, for watch collectors, Tissot’s Bridgeport collection is a tribute to tradition and a much coveted timepiece. The Tissot Bridgeport Lepine Mechanical timepiece emphasizes the importance of heritage.
Tissot’s collection comprises of beautiful pieces that stay faithful to the family aesthetic, with the same flutes around the case, that are also reflected around the dial and the second counter. Its identity is wholly its own though – as this piece is a Lepine, it has an open face and a closed case, which gives it a uniquely elegant feel, worthy of a true gentlemen’s pocket watch.
The deep blue steel hands on the Tissot Bridgeport Lepine Mechanical single it out as a very special pocket watch indeed. Often used in luxury watchmaking, this particular vivid hue can only be achieved after an intricate process where the steel is heated in order to strengthen it, and in the process turns a beautiful blue.
Other luxury touches, including the alluring crown, inspired by luxury cosmetics perfume bottles, make this traditional piece an extra-special choice for a unique individual. The watch is Swiss Made and features a hand-wound mechanical movement. The case is made from 316L stainless steel with rose gold or grey PVD coating and a chain.
