Let's explore more about these watches and what makes them special.

When were Tissot Couturier Watches Introduced to Us?

The Tissot Couturier collection was first introduced to the market in 2004 by Tissot, a renowned Swiss watchmaker with a rich heritage dating back to 1853. The collection was created to satisfy people who wanted a clock that was elegant, stylish, and practical. The collection offers a variety of alternatives and is made for both men and women. 

The timepieces frequently combine traditional and modern design aspects, making them appropriate for both formal occasions and everyday wear.

Why is the Tissot Couturier Automatic

Chronograph Creating the Hype?

Elegant Looking Watch

The watch's simplicity and careful color selection contribute to its tremendous visual appeal. There is an inherent coolness in combining a black dial with a silver stainless steel case. When paired with a leather strap, the overall effect is a sharp timepiece, a must-have for any gentleman. 

Measuring 43 mm in diameter and 14.84 mm in thickness, the watch possesses a substantial presence. While the thickness may not be to everyone's liking, it is an inevitable consequence of housing an automatic chronograph movement, which tends to be bulkier compared to its non-chronograph counterparts. The prominent and robust lugs add a masculine touch to the overall aesthetic. Additionally, Tissot's signature "T" logo adorns the crown, a testament to the brand's attention to detail.

The chronograph pushers are positioned at the 2 and 4 o'clock positions. Unlike the standard circular pushers, these pushers feature an oval shape, which enhances the tactile experience when operating them. Having a full exhibition case back offers a truly captivating experience as it allows us to marvel at the intricate details of the C01.211 automatic chronograph movement from every angle rather than being limited to a small opening. This particular design choice, however, seems to have received a lukewarm reception. Its lack of willingness among enthusiasts is undeniable.

Stylish Subdials and Markers

On the left side of the watch face, there is a sub-dial dedicated to the running seconds hand. This means that the main second-hand remains stationary, only coming into action when the chronograph function is activated to measure seconds. 

The upper subdial is dedicated to tracking minutes for the chronograph function, while the lower subdial records hours for the chronograph, with a maximum limit of six hours. The scale on the upper subdial extends up to 30 minutes, after which the lower subdial moves to mark half an hour.

Located on the right side of the dial, there is a circular area that showcases a date window. These four subdial circles contribute to the watch's overall symmetrical design. The black dial is adorned with silver and white elements, creating a visually appealing contrast. The watch features bold, index-shaped markers and an outer edge tachymeter scale for additional functionality. The hands of the watch are dauphine-shaped and include a slight luminescent feature.

How to Use Chronographs?

To activate the stopwatch, simply press the top pusher, initiating the timing mechanism. As the stopwatch begins, the main second hand will start moving, indicating the passing of each second. After completing a full rotation, the top subdial will move by one mark, signifying the completion of one minute.

Unlike electronic stopwatches, it has a maximum recording capacity of up to 6 hours. To pause the timing, press the top pusher again. If you wish to resume the timing, simply press the top pusher once more. On the other hand, if you need to reset the chronograph to zero, press the bottom pusher.

Automatic Chronograph

The Tissot Couturier Chronograph timepiece houses an ETA C01.211 automatic chronograph movement. It is believed that Tissot opted for this movement to be used in their more affordable watches rather than employing the ETA Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement found in the Victorinox Infantry Vintage collection. Despite being considered a "budget" movement, the ETA C01.211 does not disappoint. 

It features a reduced jewel count of 15 jewels and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, equivalent to 8 beats per second, resulting in a smooth sweeping motion of the seconds hand.
