All about Tissot and the T-Touch

Tissot is a Swiss watchmaker company founded in 1853. Tissot has over 150 years of innovation in Swiss watch-making tradition, which have made it a high-quality brand of watches, often associated with prestige and used as a status-symbol. The Tissot-company was the first to make a watch out of plastic, mother of pearl, wood (the Wood watch) and stone (the Rock watch). Tissot has become known in recent years for its tactile, or "T-Touch," technology; several new watches have touch-sensitive sapphire faces and include compasses, barometers, altimeters and thermometers. T-Touch watches have been recently featured in the movies Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Based in Le Locle, Switzerland and present in more than 150 countries around the world, Tissot has been, since 1985, a member of the The Swatch Group Ltd., the largest watch producer and distributor in the world. Watch Planet has an extensive range of Tissot men's watches and Tissot ladies watches all at fantastic prices.

Michael Owen - Tissot Limited Edition Watch

Tissot has created a special limited edition watch to celebrate its eleven-year partnership with English football star, Michael Owen.

The Tissot 2009 PRC 100 Michael Owen Limited Edition watch is an extremely stylish chronograph that has successfully united dynamism with elegance. The timepiece is created in a combination of silver and black colors, along with red, the color of Michael Owen’s national team.

Moreover, the dial of the watch demonstrates the star’s squad number ’10.’ The creators of the timepiece are sure that this number will bring luck to future owners of the limited edition watch. It will be available in a limited number of 4,999 pieces.

The new Tissot watch is characterized by remarkable precision, robustness and classical style.

The angular stainless steel case of the watch is coupled with a masculine stainless steel bracelet.

Overall, the new Tissot watch demonstrates meticulous attention paid to every detail on the outside. The highly legible silver-colored dial, protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, fascinates by its timeless appeal.

Five-minute intervals, designed as tiny, flag-like squares, are featured in red. Michael’s famous squad number is presented on the dial as an oversized red ‘10’ at 10 o’clock. The zero houses one of the chronograph counters. You will notice the date window at 4 o’clock.

The case back of the timepiece is worth special attention - it is decorated with the geometric shapes of a football’s surface and features the limited edition number and Michael Owen’s signature.

The Tissot 2009 PRC 100 Michael Owen Limited Edition watch is equipped with a Swiss-made quartz movement. It offers water resistance down to 100 meters.

Fossil raises full-year outlook, beats first-quarter estimates

Fossil Inc. beat first-quarter earnings estimates, raised its outlook for the year and said Tuesday that its retail customers are feeling "incrementally better."

The Richardson-based maker of Fossil watches, handbags, sunglasses, jewelry and other accessories said its first-quarter profit fell 43 percent as the recession and strong U.S. dollar hurt its results.

Chief executive officer Kosta Kartsotis said the company expects the second quarter to remain challenging but said, "We are seeing signs of stabilization, with several of our retail customers in the U.S. feeling incrementally better."

Weakness in Fossil handbags during the quarter was offset by orders for the company's lower-priced Relic brand. Fossil has returned to Nordstrom after being absent for several years from the upscale department stores, he said. Fossil makes watches and accessories under several brands that include Michele, Burberry, Michael Kors, DKNY, Adidas and Armani.
