We looked at the big 45mm manually wound version, though there's also a smaller version that's billed as a women's piece, but would be perfectly suitable for men too. Oh, and the price is right at 995 CHF (inc VAT).Our Instagram shot of the new Tissot Heritage 1936 inspired our master artist friend Sunflowerman to sketch a watercolour portrait. What a beauty!
