The watch will be priced at $1,300 on the strap and $1,350 on the bracelet when it’s available in early summer this year in stores as well as their e-commerce page. The Tissot Gentleman is an example of how a conservative dress watch can be appealing, even to more jaded watch enthusiasts, by getting everything right and offering something the competition doesn’t (in this case, the solid gold bezel). Power reserve, reliability, and longer periods of time between servicing are practical developments that appeal to most buyers. Most casual consumers coming in at this price-point are not making decisions based on movement accuracy or their high expectations of movement finishing. It uses a silicon balance spring and has an 80-hour power reserve.

The Powermatic 80 is a highly competent movement used by the Swatch group in many of their more affordable watches. Also, good luck getting away with an additional smaller 38mm version and not having it be called the “Gentleboy.” The watch wears perfectly on the wrist and, while I’m sure a lot of people will clamor for a smaller version, this 40mm case checks all the boxes for an inaugural model. The 40mm-wide and 10.64mm-thick case (with a 50M water resistance) is an ideal size to accomplish this. Tissot certainly needs to appeal to Western buyers, but can’t alienate the Asian markets that are basically keeping the industry afloat. The Timepiece Gentleman launched at the end of November 2017 with a 500 profit from the sale of a Breitling watch by Anthony Farrer. I think the consensus here leans toward the strap. (In fact, I was so not-smitten that I seem to have forgotten to photograph it.) The chocolate, black, and cream opaline come on matching leather straps, while the silver dial comes on a steel bracelet.
I noticed several people were very into the cream opaline model, but I wasn’t really that smitten with it and actually prefer the chocolate, myself. The balance wheel lies at the heart of the movement and ensures its accuracy. There are four available dial colors, all with the same pink-gold bezel: black, cream opaline, chocolate, and silver.

Anthony Farrer is the founder of The Timepiece Gentleman a burgeoning wristwatch empire that was started in Dallas, Texas and has expanded to Beverly Hills dealing in every luxury watch brand. What I’m not agnostic about are the beveled and satin-finished pink-gold applied hour markers, pink-gold faceted dauphine hands, and date-window frame.

Still looking at the dial, I’m agnostic about the crosshair. Welcome to Steam Powered Movies The movie podcast hosted by Dana & Mike Fraedrich where we watch steampunk movies and then talk about them. It’s interesting to me that the name of the watch, itself, doesn’t show up anywhere on the timepiece. This information could easily be left on the caseback. That said, the decision to have “Powermatic 80 Silicium” in large font at 6 o’clock is perplexing, to say the least (especially the addition of “silicium”).
So, the above-competent finishing does a lot for this watch.

I’d quite confidently say it looks and feels like a piece that’s probably a little bit more than a full tier above this price category.
