Tissot: Romania’s First Watch
100 years since the Great Union, the first Tissot limited edition dedicated to Romania was launched.
The 1918 pieces Limited Edition Tissot dedicated to mark one century since the Great Union had to represent the unity of all the regions and talk about Romanian traditions in the same time. Here is the link to Romania’s most representative dance – Hora. People celebrating on music by holding each other’s hands. So the main theme is unity and the main symbol on the dial is exactly the Hora represented on the background of the small second indicator. The design synthesizes nine people dancing of joy for the Great Union, one for each region to form Romania since 1918. The actual symbol came from the imagination of SEZI studio from Alba Iulia, where architects Octavia and Lucian Loiș aim to revive the Romanian folk art using traditional methods combined with the current ones.
