Tissot Cushion in 9 kt Yellow Gold – Dennison Case

A refined Tissot from the early 1930s, a testament to early wristwatch making, with a distinctive cushion case in 9 kt yellow gold made by the historic Dennison Watch Case. The white dial, of elegant Art Deco taste, features black Arabic numerals, a chemin de fer minute track and small seconds at 6 o’clock.

Of particular charm is the hand-engraved dedication on the case back, “To Betty from John 1933”, perfectly consistent with the period of the watch and capable of preserving, more than ninety years later, a precious personal testament.
