Tissot launches legendary masterpiece: the latest Heritage Banana pink gold model

A distinctive design journey

1916 marked a special year when a renowned Russian diplomat, who rarely paid attention to wristwatches, purchased aTissot“Banana”Watchwatch. However, by 1917, the sudden outbreak of revolution occurred, and the diplomat was most anxious to send this Tissot Banana watch back to the original factory for servicing and safekeeping. Delving deeply into this story provided Tissot's chief designer with an unstoppable flow of design inspiration. Today, the newly released Tissot Banana replica alongside the Tissot Prince pink edition are destined to become legendary Tissot masterpieces.

A variation on a classic theme

Three brand-new timepieces utilise hard precious gold materials and rectangular cases, inheriting the characteristics of their predecessors preserved in the Le Locle museum while retaining the signature "Banana" shape. Their iconic arched profiles soften the lines of the watches like sculptures draped around the wrist, exuding a Neo-Renaissance aesthetic throughout, fully showcasing artistic beauty and classical European flair. Paired with exquisite leather straps, the overall design is seamless, perfectly contouring a woman's tender wrist. The swirling numerals are similarly imbued with a decorative art style, varying in size to appropriately occupy every inch of the rectangular case.

The italicised logo on the dial follows the design of 1925, a motif that has always been sought after by collectors. The delicate hands add a touch of nostalgic romance; wearing this vintage-inspired timepiece suffuses the wearer with romance, involuntarily conjuring up the graceful, dignified, and noble image of a Renaissance lady. Blending classical design with contemporary fashion, the new Tissot Heritage collection also features a manual-winding mechanical movement containing 17 jewels and offers a water resistance of up to 30 metres.

A classic fusion of fashion and elegance

The new Tissot Heritage Banana Classic combines luxurious diamond embellishments with contemporary design elements, making it an ideal choice for the modern woman.

Black dial options with or without diamonds are also available. All models feature a stylish chocolate-brown alligator-grain leather strap complete with a distinctive folding clasp.
