Would you believe that I get more spontaneous offers for this little charming Art Deco Tissot than the majority of vintage pieces in my collection?

I am never startled when I get a buyout offer after I post the shiny Mido Rainbow, the cult voice-recording Seiko, or the recently featured card-board-like dialed Cartier Santos on my Instagram. I remember that the first time I shared a picture of the Art Deco Tissot, I immediately got an offer to sell it. Well, I was pretty surprised. I didn’t expect a simple three-hander by Tissot to be so aspirational for my Instagram audience. Come to think of it, this Tissot is now the most demanded watch in my collection, with spontaneous offers coming in here and there.

Disclaimer on the Art Deco Tissot

My wife loves rectangular watches. She loves them so much, that she even made me interested in them. Before I knew her, I had no square watches. Now I pay attention to them and even managed to collect (I don’t know how) dozens of them. Technically, the Art Deco Tissot is not mine. I bought it, that‘s a fact. The Tissot and I, we still live in one household together, but I forgot to mention it belongs to the constantly growing collection of my better half.

I decided to gift it to my wife the moment I saw it listed with Zsolt more than a year ago. Upon my next trip to Budapest, I stopped at his store and I picked it up in person. So you can technically redirect your next offers to my wife, although I‘m afraid you won’t be successful. To put it in racing terms, I’d say the Art Deco Tissot unshakeably occupies the pole position in her heart.
