Tissot goes nuts

In theory, it doesn’t look bad. Although when you look at it from the side and back, you’ll notice that something’s not quite right.

The already large Valjoux-based movement is dwarfed by the case.

That’s because this monster measures 48mm in diameter and is 17.9mm thick.

Oh, and this Invictissot weighs 287g.

Any idea what the fuck were they thinking when they designed this? I haven’t the faintest...

Wing must have not made a payment on his last order of Aragon cases, so Tissot swooped in for a killer deal
