The watch takes its name from a street in Le Locle, Switzerland where the Tissot factory was established in 1907. Till this day, the factory still exists and can be found on that very street.

The Swiss-made watch runs on Powermatic 80 movement that backs it up with 80 hours of power reserve so dad never has to worry about his watch running out of battery. 

Plus, the stainless steel case and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal backing will ensure that this watch stands the test of time and provides companionship for years to come.

To top it all off, the watch is water-resistant up to 50m, so no qualms there, if dad accidentally takes this watch out to the pool.

Available in a variety of finishes — including polished and brushed — Tissot’s Chemin des Tourelles is absolutely stylish. 

Besides the usual 42mm stainless steal strap, the watch is also available in a variety of strap types and colours. Our favourite so far, is the rose gold variation with brown leather straps. Its butterfly clasp with push-buttons makes it easy for dads to take it off and put it on when they’re in a rush. 

Fun fact, all these watches are also available for women at a smaller 32mm case sizes so, if mum gets jealous from seeing just how well dad rocks his Tissot watch, you can always get her a matching pair.
