Designer
Gérald Genta
Gérald Genta (1931–2011) trained as a goldsmith in Geneva and became the most influential watch designer of the 20th century. Working freelance, he sketched the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak overnight in 1970, followed by the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the IWC Ingenieur SL and the Bulgari Bulgari — defining the integrated-bracelet luxury sports watch as a category.
Historical significance
Tissot Le Locle 44 mm Blue Quartz sits within Tissot's Le Locle line, introduced in 2019. It carries the house codes established since 1853 — quartz tpt case, blue "grande tapisserie" dial and quartz — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.
- The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.
- The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.

Brand history
Tissot has spent more than 173 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's PRX, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Charles-Félicien Tissot established Tissot in 1853, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Tissot calibre produced today.
