CREATIVE POWER
After its Telemeter 1938, the brand from Le Locle breathes life into a duo whose design is inspired by the style of timepieces from the 1930s yet boasts incredibly-accurate, up-to-the-minute movements.
“Not affected by the passage of time or changes in fashion”. The definition of the word ‘timeless’ found in any good dictionary fits the new watches unveiled by Tissot Heritage Gent COSC 1938 and Heritage Small Second Auto COSC 1938 like a glove. This pair, taking their inspiration from historic pieces, flaunts the same 39 mm-diameter, 11.10 mm-thick steel-crafted case. Yet, the models differ visually through their respective dials. One features a waffled anthracite dial encircled by a minute tracker. The hour chapter, comprising golden Arabic numerals, is hovered over by two slender hour and minute hands. A small seconds nestling at 6 o’clock and a date aperture at 3 o’clock complete the vintage-looking scenography. Time data is driven by the 2895-2 caliber. This selfwinding movement delivers 42 hours’ power reserve to the watch. What’s more, its chronometric accuracy is certified by the COSC.
Likewise, the automatic 2824-2 caliber that energizes the second version of the Heritage Gent COSC 1938 also meets the Swiss testing institute’s criteria for operating precision. This version stands out with its salmon- or black-hued sandblasted dial and through the absence of the date and small seconds. To boost their elegant personality even more, all these references are worn on an embossed leather strap that’s ever-so easy to change. Worth noting, an optional steel Milanese mesh bracelet is available for the Heritage 1938 Small Second Auto COSC 1938.
