Can Tissot Watches Continue The Good Work In 2011

2010 has been a year of change, the UK has its first Conservative and Liberal coalition, Ireland and Greece has had to ask for help from the European bank and to add to all of this the UK has been covered in snow for the last month which has made the bookmakers stop taking bets on a white Christmas.

It is safe to say that times have been hard for all retailers and manufactures alike in 2010. Consumers have seen their free cash stifled by increasing fuel and energy bills as well as  the cost of all other necessities rising as the world comes to terms with the depth of the financial mess that the banks and Hedge funders have got the world into.

One manufacturer who is contradicting all of this is the Swiss watch manufacturer Tissot, for so many years Tissot was the sleeping giant in the stable of  the Swatch Group, hidden behind the big name brands of Omega, Longines and Rado. The change has been in no uncertain circumstances down to the Tissot T Touch collection.

Tissot T Touch watches were a unique concept watch when they were first launched by the brand, but the way in which the consumer took to the new collection was the beginning of the launch of the brand into the stratosphere. The Tissot though have not sat on the success of the T Touch They have added to the collection and expanded the collection so that it encompasses even more functions and even more sports. The T Touch collection has been so popular that Tissot have launched their first TV advertisements all based around the all new Tissot touch collection the Sea Touch and the T Touch Expert. The adverts have made these Tissot watches so popular that the manufacturer has struggled to keep up with the demand for these watches this year.

The brand though have not just put all their eggs in one basket in 2010 Tissot have added advertising to other parts of the collection with the PRC200 now being worn by Michael Owen and this has increased the demand for the collection ten fold for the Tissot mens collection. 2010 has stretched the manufacturer and their retailers to the limit with consumer’s desperately searching on the high street and online for Tissot watches. Tissot mens watches like the PRC200 have become so popular this year that the Swiss watch manufacturer couldn’t keep making the watch and so retailers ran out of stock by November.

2011 looks set to be even bigger for the company as the demand still continues for Tissot watches online and on the high street.

Tissot have been creating watches for over 150 years from their Le Locle base in Switzerland. Tissot have recently been making a name for themselves as the leading sports watch manufacturer with watches like the T-Touch and the Sea-Touch really taking the world by storm.

However Tissot are still staying true to their roots by creating classic Tissot watches like the Stylist BB or the T57.6.421.11. The big question has to be; what does the T57.6.421.11 give you that its cheaper competitors such as Accurist and Sekonda or designer watches cannot? The specification of the T57.6.421.11 is amazing for the price on Hot Watches. The T57.6.421.11 has a PVD coated case which is coated to a depth of 10 microns which in layman terms means that the gold colour of the case will remain for a longer period than any of its competitors in this price range.

Tissot Watches Unveil the Long Anticipated Update of the T Touch Classic

Hot Watches are excited to hear Tissot have unveiled an updated version of the T Touch Classic at Baselworld 2010. The new watch includes additional functionality within a sleeker form which as Tissot fans excited.

Tissot became market leaders for innovation through their development of high-tech watches together with their use of materials, the outcome being the advanced functionality of their designer watches. Innovation is evidently very important to Tissot, and as a result, informs everything they do.

The Tissot T Touch Classic

The eagerly anticipated update of the T Touch Classic watch clearly embodies the Tissot ethos of innovation and quality, and also its commitment to making excellence accessible. Those who know the T Touch Classic watch well will be familiar with its original, pioneering features; namely its tactile quartz multi functioning movement, tactile multi functioning dial and polished titanium bracelet together with a barometer, an altimeter, thermometer, compass and an alarm.

Tissot have now added additional features to the original specification of the classic T Touch to produce the second generation T Touch classic. This new edition T Touch now boasts all of the features of the original T Touch plus the benefit of water resistance (100 meters), making the new T Touch classic an ideal sports watch.

This hi-end functionality is contained within a discreet case, measuring 43mm in diameter and 12mm in depth. The overall appearance of the watch is therefore slighter than that of the Tissot T Touch Expert, but the T Touch Classic still maintains equally comparable features.

Tissot have ensured that the second generation T Touch Classic is accessible by means of a competitive pricing strategy – the new watches are not expected to cost too much more than their predecessor. www.hotwatches.co.uk will be one of the first official UK retailers to offer the T Touch Classic.

So 2010 promises to be an exiting year for fans of Tissot watches as they have vowed to continue to be leaders within their market place, with technological advancement once again high on the agenda.
