In the late 1980s Tissot released a number of watches made from natural materials, including the WoodWatch. The most famous, and most collectible to this day, was the RockWatch in 1985.
Made from a single piece of granite from Switzerland's Jungfrau Mountain, each piece is unique, as it's a result of the variations of the stone, making them special in a way few luxury consumables can be.
We've seen a huge increase in specialised small watchmaking houses creating pieces that sell out. For example Kurono Tokyo. This reissue of a classic echoes this, and in 999 limited pieces, it also demonstrates the same ethos of severely limited runs.
Available no for £995.00, this is sure to be another future classic.
