It isn’t everyday that one gets thrilled but yesterday was one such day. After 12 years of service in the army, my son Tony had been promoted to Captain. As his father, I’m always happy when my son shows progress in his career. Not that it was bad mind you. Having joined as 2nd Lieutenant directly recruited from the college campus, this was his 2nd promotion which meant, he was definitely doing well. As his father, I felt I should give him some small token of my affection and appreciation. My son was wearing a Casio Edifice; a nice watch…

All vintage and reminiscent of the nostalgia of 1950’s era, the Tissot Heritage Visodate is an affordable, entry level Swiss-made watch. The first Tissot Visodate was launched in 1953 to celebrate the brand’s centenary. The Tissot Visodate back then had a novel feature – it had a date window that changed to the next date instantly at midnight. A few other brands had a similar feature but the date would change gradually to the next by midnight. The design of the Visodate was quite innovative for that period, which made it a stylish dress watch and also served as a…

Even if you’re not a watch enthusiast, chances are that you’ve heard of the Tissot brand of watches. Tissot has a long history spanning more than a century and half with its origins in Le Locle, Switzerland way back in 1853.

My tryst with the brand began when I received…

What do you give as a birthday present to a man who is rich? I still remember wondering about who would buy the one-acre neighbourhood plot. Well, that was about ten years ago. It was purchased by John Arkin “Jo” to everyone, and his lovely wife Emelia Arkin. My own plot is about half the size. I make around 110-grand a year while Jo, a doctor by profession, easily makes twice that. A Merc and an 4×4 Audi grace their driveway. Over the years, thankfully, Jo and I have been good neighbours and I’d like to think, good friends too….

If you’re looking for quality and reasonable pricing, you cannot go wrong with a Tissot. Tissot is a genuine “Swiss-made” brand that has earned a reputation for making good quality watches using Swiss made movements. The timepieces are genuinely Swiss made, and I say this because the watches are created using Swiss made movements in manufacturing facilities located in Switzerland. So, when you purchase a Tissot, you get a genuine Swiss watch. Another positive about buying the Tissot brand is that, it gives you the opportunity to stretch your money further. You get the same impeccable quality in a reasonable…
