The Mathey-Tissot company was founded in 1886 by Edmond Mathey-Tissot in Les Ponds-de-Martel. The company specialized in complications and chronographs. Russia was one of the first and most important countries for the young company's exports. During the world wars Mathey-Tissot supplied the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the United States Expeditionary Force with precision chronographs. The company quickly gained fame in the watch world and won many awards. Elvis Presley was also impressed by the quality of these watches and bought many watches of this brand for himself, his family members, and friends. The watch offered here is a rare specimen and is no longer available in stores. The mother-of-pearl dial and the bezel decorated with gemstones give this watch an exclusive touch and set it apart from other watches. An extraordinary timepiece that is attractive to both women and men and is sure to attract attention. The watch is unworn, comes in a high-quality watch box and is also ideal as a special gift.
