Quartz watches are battery-operated and offer high precision with minimal maintenance. Our CONCORDE (85.77€) and LAFAYETTE (95.44€) models are excellent examples. Automatic watches like our BELLEVILLE (109.33€) wind naturally with wrist movement, offering superior watchmaking value without ever needing a battery. They do, however, require servicing every 3-5 years.

Chronograph watches: precision in all its forms
Men's chronograph watches can measure precise time intervals thanks to their additional counters.
Our BEL AIR collection at €98.33 combines this technical functionality with elegant design, ideal for men who appreciate precision and style.
How to choose the right size for a man's watch?
The size of a man's watch is generally measured by the diameter of its case.
For a slim wrist (less than 17 cm in circumference), opt for a diameter between 38 and 42 mm, like our PLAISANCE model (39mm).
For a medium to large wrist, models between 42 and 45 mm like our LAFAYETTE (42mm) or CONCORDE (44mm) will offer a better proportion.

FAQ
What are the differences between automatic and quartz watches for men?
How to choose a men's watch on a budget?
For under 90€, our GUIMARD (89.88€) and PLAISANCE (89.77€) collections offer excellent entry-level options. Between €90 and €100, the LAFAYETTE (€95.44) and TROCADERO (€98.97) offer quality steel bracelets. For a slightly higher budget, our BELLEVILLE (109.33€) features premium finishes and an automatic movement, yet remains far more affordable than the big brands offering similar features.
What are the most durable types of men's watch straps?
The stainless steel bracelet from our LAFAYETTE and TROCADERO collections offers the best durability (★★★★★) and requires little maintenance, ideal for everyday use. The leather strap from our PANTHEON collection offers excellent comfort (★★★★★) but average durability (★★★☆☆). For sports activities, silicone wristbands from the ALESIA collection combine durability (★★★★☆) and comfort (★★★★☆), with the advantage of being easily washable.
Which men's watches are right for sports and water activities?
For aquatic activities, our ALESIA collection (89.88€) with its 20 ATM water resistance is ideal for diving and all water sports. The CONCORDE and BEL AIR models (10 ATM) are perfect for swimming and snorkeling, while the LAFAYETTE and TROCADERO (5 ATM) are shower and rain resistant. All our sport models feature reinforced mineral glass to withstand everyday shocks.
How to care for a men's watch with a steel bracelet versus a leather strap?
For the steel bracelets in our LAFAYETTE and TROCADERO collections, regular cleaning with a damp cloth and occasionally a soft brush with soapy water is all that's needed.
Avoid salt water without rinsing. For the leather bracelets in our PANTHEON collection, avoid contact with water, excessive perspiration and chemicals. Occasionally apply a specific leather care product and always allow to dry naturally without direct heat.
How do I care for my Marc Tissier watch to prolong its life?
For optimum care, clean your watch regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For steel bracelets, use a soft toothbrush with lukewarm soapy water. Avoid exposing your watch to strong magnetic fields, extreme temperatures or chemicals. For automatic watches, regular winding is recommended if they are not worn daily. A service every 3-5 years is recommended to maintain performance.
What are the delivery times and conditions for Marc Tissier watches?
We offer free worldwide delivery with no minimum purchase. Delivery times generally vary between 7 and 15 working days, depending on your location.
Each order is monitored by our customer service department, which sends you regular notifications. For countries outside the European Union, import taxes may apply according to local legislation.
How does the 2-year warranty on your watches work?
Our 2-year manufacturer's warranty covers all manufacturing defects and malfunctions not related to improper use.
In the event of a problem, please contact our customer service department at marctissierparis@gmail.com with your order number and photos of the problem. If the defect is covered by warranty, we will repair or replace the watch, plus shipping costs.
Do you offer replacement bracelets to personalize my watches?
At present, we do not offer replacement bracelets for separate purchase. However, our watches are equipped with standard attachments that make it easy to replace the original bracelet with any commercially available strap corresponding to the lugs width of your model (generally 20mm for our men's models). We are working to develop a range of interchangeable bracelets for 2026.
How do I know if my Marc Tissier watch is authentic?
All our watches are sold exclusively via our official website marctissierwatches.com. Each watch comes with its certificate of authenticity, user manual and original case. The caseback is engraved with our logo and a unique serial number. If you have any doubts about the authenticity of a Marc Tissier watch, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department with detailed photos of the watch.
