Mathey-Tissot was founded in 1886 in the Jura mountains in Switzerland. Initially specializing in “repeater” watches, the company quickly moved to chronograph production and was honored with multiple awards for its design, accuracy, and craftsmanship.  During World War I, they were called upon to supply chronograph pieces to the US Military, which later led to their use by both the US and British Military during World War II.  Massena Labs is a design studio led by William Massena.  Massena began as a passionate collector and active participant in the world of horology, which has led to design collaborations with some of the most renowned watchmakers in the world.

The Mathey-Tissot X Massena Labs Type XX features a 38.5mm stainless steel case with a bidirectional 12-hour bezel and a highly domed mineral crystal with sapphire coating.  The brown dial features coffee-colored lumed Arabic numerals, two registers at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions, and lumed syringe-style hour and minute hands.  Powered by a manual wind Sellita Caliber SW510 BHa movement, the Type XX has a power reserve of 63 hours.
