Congrats.
Good example of a real designer watch. We could use some of those in todays world of bland ss/black divers....

So; are you buying a Burago model too now? I know I would
Makes a great display for the watch
I you do, could you put some fotos up? I think digitak watches are so much better presented with context.
I am not much of an artist with the camera but you get the idea:

Hello huertecilla

Yes i also have the model car lancia stratos bertone.Ed supplied me with this diecast model when i aquired the black tissot from him.
Sure i will photograph my bertone range ( iam still seeking 3 out of the 6 leds )

Your so right regarding the context of these old led watches.
Packaging, promo advertising photos, news articles, manuals and related print.
Considering these items are no older than 40 years. So little has survived .
There must of been tons of material at the time.
Sadly not the same can be said of much of the trash merchandise of today.
Thats not to say that today there isnt some fantastic inventive,creative modern designs.
FG.

P.s your combo picture looks cool.

well my thoughts are that Bertone ( a family and team of designers i beleive) just responded to a sales/promotion in regards to the Lancia Stratos rally car.
so the design of the watch would have probably just been done by a Bertone team/company designer, or more likely it really was done by Tissot and given the stamp of approval by Bertone company. who knows. but i still like the history of the 70s rally car and watch contection.
