If Switzerland can be considered the most fortunate country in the world because even though there is only a modest area, a small population, it is located in the rugged mountains that become an international financial paradise with the environment like the top living standard, so is Le Locle. A small town, but honored to be the headquarters of the world’s leading watch brands, including Tissot. Here, over 160 years ago, the two father and son of Tissot have set the first bricks to build a monument in the watch industry. Through many ups and downs of history, it seems that sometimes the monument will disappear forever, but today it still stands up, strong enough to create global influences in the watchmaking world. And as to remember my roots, Tissot favored the name of the town of Le Locle for its flagship product line. And a new representative in the family of Le Locle with fashionable colors will be the main character of this article. It was the Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80 T006.407.22.033.00

Honoring the name of the town where the brand Tissot, Le Locle was born represents the style and orientation of this company. Belonging to the classic T-Classics design line that brings together the timepieces with timeless beauty, Le Locle brings the characteristics of beautiful watchmaking spirit like Swiss jewelry. The familiar circular design with the finished shell combines the ball shape of the bezel with the scratched edge of the frame. All create the harmony from the first feeling.
Designing a classic face with small Roman numerals, exuding the elegance, courtesy of a typical Dress Watch, the slender, leafy needle that gives off a gentle feeling will create a sense of relaxation. As we watch the movement of time. But what I liked most about Le Locle’s face design in general was the Guilloche pattern of Clous de Paris. From a distance, it can be seen that the dial is quite open with simple details, but when you look carefully, we can see the sophisticated, meticulous, sharp in each line. Affordable Tissot want through this clock to say the philosophy that: Simply the end of beauty, but to get the simple beauty, it really has to put a lot of effort and enthusiasm to get. Understanding this, we will feel more proud and cherish than the time machine in our hands because it is the crystallization of the mind as well as the talent of the makers of Swiss watches.
User experience – The key to conquering customers’ hearts
Life shows many paradoxes such as a product with high configuration, many features but not being loved. On the contrary, there are almost nothing special products that are very successful. That fact seems incongruous but very reasonable when we understand that the experience when used is the determining factor for the success of a product. And Tissot and Le Locle did very well
I really always keep the point that Tissot is a manufacturer who always pays attention to the user experience. The Le Locle that we are talking about here is the most practical proof
It is a watch with a face size of 39.3mm, a moderate size with most people from Europe to Asia.
It is a time machine with mechanical movement but only 9.8mm thick, thin enough to easily fit in the cuff of the shirt – which, along with it, is really a pair of cards that help owners to exaggerate their looks. Important, elegant.
It is the choice of folding lock design from 2 sides – it is the bridge to help 2 pieces of metal wire as a tie when 1 lock is installed. There is no feeling of uncomfortable to hold your hand on the desk to work with the computer or the paper. Indeed, just a choice, a small detail but comfortable.
