Beloved classic gets a modern twist
A dazzling new edition of the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Automatic Chronograph joins the Bucherer BLUE familyText: Lucerne, 14 March 2019
Elegance meets dynamism
This men’s watch is rich in tradition – a true Tissot icon. It gets its name from the street in the Swiss village of Le Locle where Tissot’s head office was built in 1907 and still stands today. In this new look, the classic watch combines a dynamic design language with timeless elegance. Sporty and elegant, it embodies the Tissot motto of being “innovators by tradition”, with an effortless look that combines nostalgic appeal with modern, technical touches.
Design enthusiasts are bound to be delighted by the bold details of this sporty yet elegant timepiece: a polished finish, a stylish dark blue leather strap with an embossed crocodile-skin pattern and an eye-catching dark blue dial with an artistically applied Clous de Paris guilloche pattern. The timepiece is characterised by an impressively dynamic design, with sporty bright red hands lending it a modern flair and a touch of extravagance. The dial is home to beautiful contrasts formed by Roman numerals, striking hour markers and continuous scales, giving the timepiece an unmistakable look and excellent readability. The date is displayed prominently at 3 o’clock.

About the Bucherer BLUE
The Bucherer BLUE watch collection comprises 34 exclusive timepieces that Bucherer created in cooperation with 18 renowned watch manufacturers. For 130 years, Bucherer has offered its customers a large selection of outstanding timepieces from first-class watchmakers. Its unique relations with the most distinguished brands in the industry are the fruit of many years of continuous collaboration, rooted in know-how, mutual respect and exceptional technical expertise. These rare partnerships produced the 34 men’s and ladies’ watches from the exclusive Bucherer BLUE collection, which Bucherer developed jointly with the watchmakers Audemars Piguet, Baume & Mercier, Blancpain, Breguet, Carl F. Bucherer, Chopard, H. Moser & Cie., Hublot, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Longines, Panerai, Piaget, Rado, Roger Dubuis, TAG Heuer, Tudor and Vacheron Constantin. The central theme of the collection is the colour blue. For countless artists over the centuries, blue has been a source of inspiration, reminding us of the sky and sea. It has also been a symbol of Bucherer since the beginning, and hence an identifying feature of the Bucherer brand.
