Tissot from Swatch Group has opened up more of the curtain in front of their collection to be showcased at Baselworld next month. The classic Tissot Ballade will feature a silicon balance spring to power its Powermatic80 movement. Silicon is an interesting addition considering the price range of most Tissot timepieces. Higher-end watches use it to balance springs and provide the watch greater longevity.

The Tissot Chemin des Tourelle Helvetic Pride Special Edition will also see attention at the event. The watch showcases a Swiss franc coin on the back, bearing the image of Helvetia, a female national personification of the company’s home country of Switzerland. The image will also be accompanied by 23 stars representing each state of the Swiss Confederation.
