A New Contender In Attainable Swiss Watches - Tissot Chemin des Tourelles 39mm

[@ElcurionExodus]

i feel like Tissot does a really good job right now. Much better then a lot of other brands.

[@grunt5074]

​@teddybaldassarre113Obvious fraud is obvious.

[@giancarlom.]

How about Hamilton, and Certina?

[@boudicajones6524]

I’m not sure why but this watch hooked me the second I saw a picture of it. I picked one up (blue dial with the leather strap) and frankly I’m stunned by it. It’s got a gorgeous dial with perfect dimensions for my average-sized wrist. Wearability is very comfortable on the wrist, and so far it’s accurate to within a second a day. This is admittedly my first mechanical watch above the sub-$300 entry level. Two weeks in I’m still completely in love with it and I don’t regret the decision even a little.

[@hdjekso7930]

How's the anti glare coating on the watch?

[@fuzzywuzzysk]

Still wearing it? How's the accuracy?

[@Greedypro123]

Picked this up today, the 39mm blue face/brown leather strap...I absolutely love it! It's the perfect watch.

[@vmbvmb7471]

Love it. This is definitely going to be one that I buy as my office watch. Simple, but elegant.

[@cdeaker]

A classic, well balanced & versatile watch. I wish they offered the Gentleman in a smaller size (say 37mm) & have the finishing of the quartz variant the same as automatic

[@absar8304]

I have been commenting the same thing in multiple videos or in my watch groups, a 37mm gentleman would totally kill it in the market!

[@terryhons1895]

I really want a Tissot gentleman but the 40mm combined with that lug to lug width makes it impossible for me to pull it off. Unfortunately I don't think they would go for a 37mm. Maybe if the original was 42mm then it would've been possible but 37-38mm is too close to 40mm.

[@marufio]

​@@terryhons1895 i thought the same but as soon as i put it on a strap it felt smaller maybe one day i put it back

[@cdeaker]

@@terryhons1895 Oyster Perpetual lineup comes in five sizes: 28, 31, 34, 36, and 41mm. Tissot could do either a 36 or 37mm for the Gentleman

[@jodysilvia2]

Congratulations Teddy, the watch collector's anthem has been a huge hit!

[@CorvusHyperion]

I have a few Powermatic 80 watches and they all run consistently accurately

[@ba2724]

Quite the classy looking watch, especially in that navy blue color. Something I'd consider soon.

[@CamiloSinger]

I have a soft spot for Tissot in my heart as it was the first "proper" watch I owned when I scored my first job. Now I've been eager to own another Tissot and between this, the PRX and the Gentleman, it's hard to decide, but the Chemin Des Tourrelles is quickly winning me over!

[@CamiloSinger]

Went for this one in the end. Absolutely gorgeous. My only con would be the clasp which doesn't feel firm enough.

[@ficki4615]

Same here. A 20yo Tissot was my first “proper” watch, which was a hand-me-down from my dad just a couple years ago. So I always get a warm feeling whenever they come up with a great model.

[@dancarrison9354]

Ditto. My first real watch was an automatic Tissot PR 50. Still wear it, but have a few Powermatics as well. Great brand!

[@ssr7261]

I wonder when Tissot, Hamilton, Longines etc are going to realise that this type of dress/casual watch almost always looks best when it's smaller than 38mm, even on a larger wrist. Look at a vintage Seamaster and you will immediately admit that it looks far classier than today's oversized dials. Hopefully we can expect a return to 36mm as the standard, as shown by the popularity of the 35mm PRX.

[@EdVanMeyer]

The blue dial is a real winner and for a sub 1000 cost watch it is in the right place. I would go for a 42mm personally, with Tissot coming under the oversight of Swatch group as does Longines, you can see that this is positioned in the marketplace for those who can't go to the Longines on cost but still get a quality Swiss watch for a great competitive price. I think that the movement could have more decoration and certainly some moon phase and Chrono options would make this appeal more widely. I can see Longines styling here but at a more pocket friendly price. You would not be afraid to wear this watch which is the whole point of enjoining it.

[@playbackvintagehifihunter9669]

Just ordered the 42mm from Jura Watches today. It is my first foray into the world of Swiss Made watches and is the most I have spent on a watch. I hope it will be a great choice! 🤞

[@var20mg]

The dust on the seconds hand gets to me

[@timokokkinen2725]

Today I purchased this one with a blue dial and a leather strap. I really enjoy the simplicity and the elegance of this watch.

[@DrBob0910]

Well done Teddy and Team! I will contact Jon in the near future to purchase this model and the Tissot Seastar 2000 in blue. Simply superb customer service Teddy.

[@knifetricksarefun]

just picked this up today and im loving it tissot is my favorite brand by far affordable and reliable while still lookin classy

[@tineye5100]

I like this, though I think the new Hamilton models edge this out for me. Tissot and Hamilton are both killing it right now though. Love it.

[@TheBowerbird]

I just bought one of these upon seeing it in person and holy hell is it ever amazing in person. That blue dial in the sunlight is insane.

[@megasoid]

A sharp, classy piece. Thanks Teddy, first time seeing this.

[@syedrehanfida]

I love the looks and size of this watch! I would have got it instantly if it weren't for the price...

[@ricardorgomez]

This is one of those watches I would describe as 'the epitome of sophistication'. Someone who doesn't appreciate watches would probably say "It's a nice watch". But someone who enjoys watches, would appreciate the details and looks. I think the case has a nice vintage look and the blue dial is gorgeous. On my list.

[@jkacnt]

Would love to see this vs a Junghans Maxbill and Tudor 1926.

[@frankbick6953]

Nice! Another hit from Tissot. Would love to see them do a version of this with a small seconds subdial at 6 and no date.

[@davehan241]

I like that idea. If the date window stays, I'd like the color to blend with the dial too.

[@fw1421]

I had a Tissot watch way back in the early 1970’s that had a composite case. At the time it was a rare beast,I don’t believe anybody else had that feature. It was an inexpensive watch.

[@jassonkhoo1223]

Had the chemin des tourelles for a week now and it is 👌 Movement is accurate, comfy, shifting dates and hours feels satisfying and the bracelet fits my hand so dang well

[@henrikpettersson2886]

The blue clean dial looks absolutely beautiful

[@hkkyau]

This might actually compete with the Junghans Max Bill!! First watch I've seen that also pulls off that pebble case design as well as the Max Bill

[@uramalakia]

This is the first watch I will be buying for myself and hope to use for the rest of my life.

[@lemmontree1]

This is such an amazing release by Tissot. I just wish they would also make them in 36mm.

[@josephscosta88]

I absolutely love this new release and will be adding one to my collection at some point. The blue dial is beautiful but I already have enough blue in my collection. I really wish the green came in the 39mm size. Hoping they introduce some additional dial colors in the 39mm size with those beautiful round minute markers.

[@tpoz48]

This is a sharp looking dress watch. I have a Tissot Gentleman that looks great, but it is not a dress watch. The Gentleman looks good wearing a sports coat and slacks. Also it looks good wearing khakis and a polo. The Tissot in this video would look good wearing a suit.

[@ruperttmls7985]

Se vería bien con una correa de piel negra, en lugar de la café, ahí si se vería muy formal.

[@keksbrot4995]

what a stunning look. I missed the on wrist shot with the steel bracelet.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

I'm more into the classic look. It's getting harder to find watches like this. I found one on sale and grabbed it. I have watches that cost more and watches that cost less, but I think this watch is my favorite. It just has class. Simple and elegant. Great video.

[@Kratos2591]

Have the previous model on a bracelet. Great watch for the price. Feels solid yet comfortable and the 80 hour power serve is fantastic

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

This is the Tissot I have been waiting for. I love everything about the blue dial viariant you displayed. 😍

[@kinderwaff]

I was just looking for the review on this piece yesterday, and Teddy delivers as always!

[@ahha6304]

Oh god I just saw this thing today and I was kinda in need of info about CDT, thanks Ted!

[@CaptCanuck4444]

Great looking watch. That blue dial looks opulent. Tissot is on the rise.

[@nifi7870]

Got this one today, and the sales from other boutiques are complimenting it on my waist. Such a surprise!

[@chronos-calculus]

Very elegant and yet simple. Definitely one worth considering!

[@mastershooter007]

Thank you for showing it on a model where people actually wear their watches, rather than so low on the wrist that it’s digging into their hand. I never understand why so many people model their watches in that way.

[@DekkerExpat]

Believe it or not, many people wear their watch loose below the wrist bone. Personally I feel it gets in my way and I can’t stand it! Also it looks bad. I just don’t get it.

[@frmdablockboi3436]

@@DekkerExpat clearly neither of you have ever gotten a watch fitted at the AD lmao… if you can’t fit a finger under your bracelet then it’s too tight, stop making your wrist look like your wife’s hips when she wears a belt 🤣🤣

[@stefanusrianto8781]

@@DekkerExpat me too, if it's too close to my hands, it felt getting in a way of my hands. I also prefer my watches worn higher

Tissot is killing it lately. I Can only ask them for a smaller diver, the rest has been amazing

[@jerryglasses2229]

Couldn't get a two tone fluted bezel DJ from my dealer so bought a Tissot Ballade and love it so much I don't want the Rolex now.

[@ignaciopadilla5150]

Beautiful dress watch by Tissot. I like the option of case sizes.

[@joeblackwolf17]

Another great watch review by Teddy and channel. Beautiful Tissot 🎉🎉🎉

[@StephenNellas]

is that dust on the seconds hand or part of the design? sorry .. don't mean to be nitpicky..but this is a very big step in the right direction for the chemin... love the domed sapphire crystal.

[@rifqisyawie8894]

The Gentleman 40mm seems too big for me, so this watch will be my sweet spot!

[@alwayspooh1588]

Tissot need some more respect as I think people associate them with cheapness, and ignore the fact that they produce Swiss made watches from a brand with a lot of heritage at a price point that most people can afford. Kudos to them.

[@PH-kl5qq]

I bought the older design this week. Really love it. New one i might have preferred but didnt see it. Ar coating is OK but itherwise eveything grear

[@AdAce21]

39mm is my goldilocks size. Gorgeous watch! Tissot is just killing it

[@gobigorange7077]

Just bought one from your website! I love these simple dressier watches.

[@ColtonkHall]

Great video Teddy. You are the first source I go to when purchasing my next watch!

[@jps5557]

Can you change bracelet to Stainless Steel from leather one?

[@HyppJ]

Hi Teddy, Can you please review the Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Skeleton? Do you like this watch? Which colour do you think works best in this model?

[@irokishingai]

Hey, I’m considering getting either this blue dial Chemin Des Tourelles or salmon dial Heritage 1938 chronometre. I love the look of Chemin Des Tourelles but I wonder if - despite not having COSC certification - it’s comparable in terms of precision to the Heritage model. Any advice would be much anticipated! 🙂

[@Shabbe02]

Just bought the skeleton version, so happy with it :)

[@rorschach8585]

I am torn between the Chemin des Tourelles and the Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic (with the silver dial). Both are about the same case diameter, both are autos with hacking second hand, exhibition case back, leather strap, both have Swiss movements, and both are suitable as dress watches and as casual watches. I might be leaning toward the Hamilton for its military heritage (I'm a veteran) and Lancaster origins (I live in Southeast PA).

[@ivanmichaels7518]

I’ve got a different version to the one he’s reviewed, and it’s very good looking. Own more Tissot than any other watch.

[@kart182]

Great watch. Some Seikos also have double finished hands for a similar price!

[@owenbird117]

Hey Teddy, is there any way you could go over the Le Locle Chronometre Automatic Black Dial, I'm very intrigued by it but I've never seen anyone talk about it, let alone even show its existence. Love the videos and keep up the good work man!

[@grimapocalypse5969]

In really torn. I love the old version of this watch in the blue dial, can you do a side by side comparison?

[@richplant2205]

Tissot do things for people who want an affordable brand. Solid decent watches

[@BLEEMQ]

I hope Tissot is reading this.. I love many of their designs, I think they represent great value and would purchase them again if they would stop printing "POWERMATIC 80" on all of the dials.. 80 hours is a great power reserve, and it's automatic, I get it. Anyone else or is it just me? The year of the company's founding on the dial, awesome, Chemin des Tourelles, cool, date at 6, nice balance. Who is this basic information in a made up word for? If you bought it, you know what it is. The sweep seconds should let anyone else who cares know that it's an automatic. Although for some reason I have no issue with 'superlative chronometer, officially certified' lol...

[@stefanusrianto8781]

printing of Automatic would be nice just like most watches out there

[@n9i9t9h9i9n]

Yea but hand wound watches are not automatic so sweeping hands won’t tell you

[@francisjohnny4556]

Founding year is what bothers me most. Would probably have bought the watch if it weren't for that, it's too distracting. Brand name in big and details in small print, that's enough imo.

[@BLEEMQ]

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

❤love this watch❤ I have a birth year 1964 Tissot Visodate Seastar 37mm that looks very much like this but date at 3 o’clock

[@derkasehasser2132]

might pick one of these up when the price falls

[@themasta728]

Nice watch but at this price point there is no excuse to not give a sapphire crystal at the backcase since a flat one hardly cost anything. I have a Tissot Seastar from 2012 and by now the caseback crystal is full of scratch marks.

[@richardnoseworthy4031]

Nice just wish the date was color matched to the dial

[@dickcurrey21]

It you have to put a date window on such a watch why the F can't you colour match it. That blue dial could have been just perfect without that white date wheel.

[@brianadams3195]

I would like to see a wristwatch, such as this, that is handwind only without the auto wind feature.

[@benjaminvis]

I wasn't expecting a Tissot design to make me look up. Actually, this does! The case profile is very attractive and the combined finishing on the dial furniture is quite convincing. The biggest thing against it is argually that it is a no-nonsense watch from a somewhat boring and middle-of-the-road brand, but the design is balanced and refined in a way that other Tissot's, including the popular, are not. The dots and colour remind me a little of the Oris James Morrison, which I do think is more standout handsome still. It also gets away with its contrasty white date window, especially because it is placed just right in relation to the indices. However, I ordered in a Tissot once (lady's watch), and was sufficiently underwhelmed with its refinement, proportions, and overall quality assurance and material choices that I sent it right back. In your video, I immediately noticed an odd and for me disturbing imperfection on the seconds hand. I guess this worry is what is likely to keep me away from Tissot.

[@jhrodriguez08]

Value for money always Longines and Seiko take the laurels but Tissot IMO with these three watches Gentlemen, PRX and the one presented here are solid choices at entry level

[@thisoldbelair]

I love this release. Would be hard to stop me from buying a white dial variant.

[@BlackTee1891]

Can’t decide between Togo’s and the gentleman. I have a black face PRX

[@enduringtech822]

I actually thought this is a little large for a dressy watch, given it's slim bezel. Am still waiting for a smaller Gentleman LOL.

[@duffydon1741]

[@shanephillips8735]

Nice, but ruined by the white date wheel, colour matched could be so easy for Tissot to figure out surely?

Bruh this watch is just Exactly what I want. Once I get my first real job I’m buying the champagne variant ASAP!!

[@karanchoubey]

I really love the gentleman and also , it has a silicium hairspring in its movement, The gentleman was my number 1 choice to purchase this year on my birthday. But after watching this video , I'm a little confused between the gentleman and the watch shown in this video. Pricing wise both are almost the exact same but the gentleman has a slightly more better movement. Somebody please help me make a decision.

[@jasongultjaeff9397]

The movement is the same between the two. Both are the Powermatic 80 with silicium. This is a dress watch. The Gentleman is a dress watch with a few sporty cues, e.g is a bit sportier. I personally think the Gentleman looks better. The minimalist dial makes it look a little too big for the style. It should be a little smaller imo. Maybe a 36mm.

[@javiersds8081]

Glad you used the word "attainable" instead of "affordable".

[@justinsaunders4068]

Almost perfect, but please Tissot, how much would it cost to make a colour matched date wheel ?

[@JamesDavidWalley]

The blue-dial variant looks great. I remember the previous CdT version was available in both regular and COSC-certified models; do you know if Tissot plans to offer the same this time around? (Also, the next time you speak to someone at Tissot headquarters, ask them to teach you how to pronounce "Chemin" - that was the only part of the name with which you had problems.)

[@Robert-vw3od]

I honestly feel ETA have messed up, if you look at the kennissi movements Which have been developed, because ETA have limited supplies they need to strongly rival this by at least making more Powermatic 80 COSC

[@ozmondos]

Very nice, but it looks very similar to the Baume Mercier Baumatic.
