Mathey Tissot Chronograph. A black beauty.
When it comes to Mathey Tissot, we all have the Type XX in mind.
But there is a life outside the Type XX.
There is a white version, which is not a Type XX, but which shows a lot of elegance:
And there is a smaller offer, which is absolutely stunning.
35 mm case ( 38 for the white one ), Valjoux R 23 inside, screw in case back ( Etanche ), and what a dial!
Enjoy this rare bird!
Best.
Nicolas.

Beautiful indeed!

Not mine, Alas. But you will soon understand why...
I found a very long hunted one... Not this MT, which is a lovely baby, though. Best, and superb time only MT, Tony. Best, Nicolas

Ooh yes, you should pay a visit to these Vintage Chronos. Honey for the eyes! Best, Nicolas
Superb indeed, thank you.

This chronograph is gorgeous. I think I had the chance to see it in the flesh few weeks ago and I was impressed by the balance of beauty and strengh that came out of this watch. Your photos are superb, as always.
I think we saw the same, indeed. ;)
I also loved the ratio size / thickness. Bold, small, this one has a lot of character! Best. Nicolas
I was able to see one black few months back but ...
Those two are in so much better conditions. The white one is gorgeous. Cheers, Nilo
Nice one...
Hi, aned btw, the movement isn't a cal. 23 - it's the predecessor cal VZ. And some watchmaker confused the hands, the minute register and small second should be the opposite way (i.e. the second hand should be with tail, the minute register without) Again...
A black pearl
The dial is really amazing. It has a warmth and charm to it that shows why I love these vintage beauties. Of course your white two tone is beguiling as well. Shows just what an interesting manufacturer this company was and what gems there are still out th...
