Tissot Le
Locle Regulateur
The Tissot Le Locle Regulateur is another member of the Le Locle
family of watches named after Tissot’s home in the Swiss Jura
Mountains.
The Regulateur design emphasizes the minutes and is a nod
to the original and highly accurate “Regulateur” clocks used in
workshops in the eighteenth and nineteenth century as a reference
to check the accuracy of the pocket watches of the day.
Its balanced dial creates a mature and refined look recalling
through design the functional heritage of the type. Available in three
variations: all-steel, yellow gold (PVD) & steel two-tone, or an all rose
gold PVD with a classic black dial, the moderate size 39.3mm case
houses a Swiss ETA movement visible through the crystal back and
retails for a fairly modest $795-$950. www.us.tissotshop.com
