Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
Le Locle was created to mark Tissot's 150th anniversary, named after the Swiss Jura town where the brand was founded. The dial pattern traces back to the clock face on the Le Locle church tower — an actual piece of the town's architecture translated into something worn on the wrist. At 25mm, this is a watch scaled for dressier purposes: it sits close and flat, reads as jewellery without abandoning legibility, and the eight single-cut diamonds set at the hour positions are graded Top Wesselton, VS-SI clarity — a specification that matters at this scale, where the stones are prominent rather than decorative filler. Roman numerals and the Le Locle signature fill the silver dial in the manner of a miniature clock face, which is precisely what it was meant to evoke. The exhibition caseback is the detail worth turning the watch over for. The ETA 2671 is one of the few automatic movements compact enough to fit a 25mm case without compromise, and seeing it run — 38 hours of reserve wound into a movement barely 17mm across — closes the connection between the church clock that inspired the dial and the mechanism keeping time beneath it.

Learn more about Tissot
Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Émile founded the company in Le Locle in 1853, assembling gold pocket watches and, unusually for the time, exporting aggressively — Russia became a major market within a decade.
Tissot's history is a sequence of firsts achieved through willingness to try materials and ideas the establishment considered unserious. The first mass-produced pocket watch with two time zones came in 1853. The first anti-magnetic wristwatch in 1930. The Astrolon of 1971 was the first watch with a movement made largely of injection-moulded plastic, and it worked. The RockWatch of 1985 used Alpine granite for the case, followed by watches in wood and mother-of-pearl.
The T-Touch of 1999 was the most significant: a tactile sapphire crystal allowing the wearer to access altimeter, barometer, compass, thermometer, and chronograph by touching the glass, years before touchscreens were commonplace.
Tissot merged with Omega in 1930 and both became founding members of what is now the Swatch Group. Its position in the group is volume and accessibility — Swiss mechanical and quartz watches at prices most people can reach, with the Powermatic 80 movement offering an eighty-hour reserve at entry level.
The company has held timekeeping roles across cycling, basketball, motorsport, and fencing.

Your new watch
Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 38 hours fully wound — so it will usually stop if you leave it off overnight.
What size strap does it take?
12mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
