Tissot Gives You a Piece of the Jungfrau for Your Wrist
Carved from Jungfrau granite, the Tissot RockWatch returns as a 999-piece limited edition; a rare fragment of the Swiss Alps for the wrist.
When the snow softens and the ice begins to retreat, the Alps reveal what has been hidden for centuries. Beneath the white stillness lies a story written in stone; one that Tissot dared to tell almost forty years ago when it first carved time from the mountains themselves.
This season, that story is retold. The Tissot RockWatch returns, reborn in a limited edition of just 999 pieces, each one shaped from the granite of the Jungfrau, one of Switzerland’s most majestic peaks.

It is a fragment of the Alps worn on the wrist, a quiet tribute to nature’s endurance and to the watchmaker’s mastery.
A Rarity Forged in Stone
Granite is an uncompromising material. Its density and unpredictability make it notoriously difficult to shape, which is precisely why the RockWatch is such a marvel.
To transform this ancient rock into a refined 38mm case requires precision and patience, a dance of engineering that balances delicacy with strength.
The result is a case that is as singular as the stone it comes from; no two are ever the same.
Finished with nickel-plated baton hands and a domed sapphire crystal that flows seamlessly into the stone dial, the new RockWatch feels both modern and timeless. Each piece is individually numbered and engraved.
From Icon to Collectors’ Treasure
When Tissot unveiled the first RockWatch in 1985, it created a sensation. The idea of wearing a piece of Alpine granite captured imaginations worldwide, drawing collectors and adventurers to boutiques in search of this unexpected fusion of nature and craftsmanship.
This new edition honours that legacy, yet refines it for today’s collector. Its quartz movement is chosen not only for accuracy but for its lightness; a perfect counterpoint to the solidity of stone.
The black leather strap adds comfort and contrast, while the sapphire crystal ensures that the dial’s natural textures remain pristine for decades to come.
Each RockWatch is presented in a collector’s box crafted to resemble a block of granite, a final poetic gesture that ties the watch back to its origins.
The Spirit of the Alps, on the Wrist
There is something elemental about the RockWatch. It is not loud, not ostentatious, but quietly confident; a timepiece that carries the memory of mountains.
For those who look for objects with soul and story, the RockWatch offers a rare proposition.
Available only in limited quantities at select boutiques, it is a reminder that true luxury lies in scarcity, in craftsmanship, and in the enduring beauty of the natural world.
