Tissot s Heritage Petite Seconde  Dec 5, 2018

VIDEO: The old world charm of Tissot’s Heritage Petite Seconde 

Watches - the best watches at least - do more than tell the time. They transcend their function to evoke an atmosphere or a mood. Tissot’s latest heritage piece, the Petite Seconde, is a quite wonderful example of this. Sure, it’s a 42mm steel piece with a classic manually winding movement, and a pretty classic … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The old world charm of Tissot’s Heritage Petite Seconde  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

One of the most iconic watches by Cartier, the Santos needs no introduction. The origins of the Santos dates back to 1904 when Cartier first designed the watch to accompany aviator Santos Dumont on his intrepid flights. Funny as it seems, the Santos then bears the pedigree of a Pilot’s watch and is one of the earliest tool purpose wristwatches in history.
