Mathey-Tissot. A very fine stainless steel triple calendar chronograph wristwatch with moon phases

Highly attractive, the present timepiece encompasses a reputable Valjoux movement with chronograph, triple calendar and moon phase complication. Cased in a very durable and well preserved stainless steel case, it allies robust designs with a charismatic and elegant dial, adorned with golden indexes, hour and minute hands.

Specializing in complications, Edmond Mathey-Tissot established his watchmaking business in Les Ponts-de-Matel, Switzerland, in 1886. First focusing on repeater pocket watches, the firm was soon celebrated for making chronographs and encountered much success throughout the years. Providing timepieces for the United States Army, the manufacture gained a reputation for creating simple and complicated timepieces of high reliability.
