Tissot T-Race Nicky Hayden 2010 Limited Edition Watch
Tissot has a goal to always be associated with the racing circuit in America. Other brands follow things like Formula One and other types of motor sports that people in the US don't really pay attention to. Tissot has been partnered with NASCAR (click here to read about their Danica Patrick watch), showing that it was quite interested to align itself with racing events that Americans might actually be interested it.

Why is Hublot hated by AP Collectors?
Why is there is a general feeling amongst the AP crowd that Hublot is undesirable?Having watched that Hodinkee video with JCB, I've become more interested in Hublot.Some of the Hublot Big Bang models look pretty cool and are much cheaper than AP. Is it because it's more of a trendy watch? Lack of pedigree?Interesting looking watches but not sure if I like them enough to buy one?
