Hehehehe! Tissot make beautiful watches! Story time...
When Big Sis was six, she couldn't tell the time: numbers were unimportant to her, but she did want
a watch. Dad said she could have one for her birthday if she could tell the time by then! Bargain!
She learned ti tell the time and was given a smart new Ingersol watch for her birthday. Joking, Dad
said, If it's still working on your 21st birthday, I'll replace it with a gold one! It was, so she
held him to her word! A nice little ladies Tissot, oval in shape, with 9c gold case was her 21st
birthday present. 29 years later it is still going strong, though Dad closed his eyes for the last
time 21 years ago. The watch came with a leather strap, but later had a gold one fitted.
My maternal grandfather also had a Tissot: very plain, very nice, gold case. After he dies, it
went to my brother. Now my bro is of the sort that destroys watches just by wearing them! This
one has survived over 20 years of him wearing it and only needs a clean occasionally. Bro wears
it for 'best' rather than all the time. I think he usually wears Dad's Seiko. That too has proved
bro-proof!
I am another watch destroyer: they get dipped in the bath, run under the tap, or bashed while
sewing... At present I have a nice little Sekonda that bro gave me a few years ago. It's standing up
well to my abuse!
