If you’re not the kind of person who wants their watch to be noticed, then the alpha hands and needle-like applied indices should be more than enough to feel characterful on the sunburst dials. The references which include the clous de Paris, also known as a hobnail pattern, around the perimeter are especially dynamic under lighting and will surely be more eye-catching. ![]() This kind of approach should appeal to plenty of buyers, providing a lot of options that range from mid-century sleek to traditional refinement. For example, the dials are largely split into full sunburst configurations and those with sunburst-finished central medallions framed by clous de Paris stamped outer rings (also distinguished from the full sunburst dials with applied Roman numerals at 12′, 3′, 6′, and 9′). It would appear the aim was to present a collection with a design framework that is timeless, but with certain detailing and colour options (silver, white, blue, green, mother of pearl, ivory) that reflect the desires of the modern marketplace.

Versatility is a key component of the design, not only in sizing but aesthetic as well. To accommodate all genders and wrists, the watches are available in 50m water-resistant, mixed-finished, stainless-steel cases that are 34mm, 39mm, and 42mm in diameter. The Chemin des Tourelles collection will now be comprised of 16 configurations that range from AS$1,175 to AS$1,400. Well, the new Tissot Chemin des Tourelles collection, perhaps, does just that, with a classic format refined with a more contemporary aesthetic and a Powermatic 80 calibre that presents movement specifications that deliver excellent bang for your buck. Something that would serve as a foil to their smartwatch. In fact, in a world where wrists are largely dominated by the Apple Watch, some people are instead looking for something that carries a more timeless and traditional aesthetic. But, while it may surprise us within the watch community, not everyone is looking for an integrated steel sports watch. ![]() Upon the introduction of the PRX, were anyone looking for a sporty yet elegant and cost-approachable go-anywhere-do-anything watch, it could not be beaten in the under US$1,000 segment.
