THE INCEPTION OF A TIMEKEEPING ADVENTURE
Have you ever felt the exhilaration of the seconds ticking by, like the pulse of a thrilling race?
Prepare to feel that rush with the Tissot Telemeter 1938, a precise instrument that measures time as an athlete would – with consistency, precision, and an eye for victory.
The dial, a delightful wink to the past, showcases Arabic numerals and dual sub-dials, one reflecting the consistent rhythm of the running seconds, the other counting each half-hour with precision. Scales of different hues adorn the perimeter, each with their purpose, from the red tachymeter in the middle to the blue telemeter scale on the outer edge. Housed within a brushed and polished 42mm stainless steel case, it pairs an updated Valjoux A05.231 chronograph movement with a brown Italian leather strap set to age gracefully, much like a fine wine.
The timepiece invites you to master the race against time, while adding a touch of tasteful heritage to your wrist.
Where seconds became moments, and moments became history
From Swiss Alps to NBA Courts
Imagine the year 1938 and our hero, Vital Thiébaud. His heart is pounding as he starts his Tissot chronograph at the beginning of a ski race in the idyllic Swiss resort of Villars-sur-Ollon. That single act marked the starting point of an extraordinary journey that Tissot has embarked on in the world of sports timekeeping.
We’ve journeyed back in time to bring you a piece of that history. The Telemeter 1938 is a reminder of that time, when the first chronograph button push was the debut of the brand’s important role as Official Timekeeper.
The tale of Tissot is one punctuated by moments that shaped sporting history, from the snowy Alps to the courts of the NBA, the roads of the Tour de France, and the adrenaline-pumped circuits of MotoGP. With the Telemeter 1938 on your wrist, you strap on a piece of our legacy. More than a timepiece, it’s more like a time machine.
