Is the Tissot Savonnette a pocket watch or a wristwatch?

It is a pocket watch with a hinged cover, meant to be carried in a pocket or on a chain, not worn on the wrist.

Does it need a battery?

No. It uses a mechanical hand-wound movement, so you wind it regularly instead of replacing a battery.

How often do I need to wind it?

Plan to wind it about once a day. A mechanical movement runs down over roughly a day or two depending on the model.

What is a Savonnette cover?

It is a full metal lid hinged over the dial. You press the crown or a button to open it, which protects the crystal when carried.

Is it suitable for everyday wear?

It works for daily carry if you don't mind winding it and the extra bulk in a pocket. Many owners treat it as a dress or occasional piece.

Does it come with a chain?

Check the specific listing. Some Tissot pocket watches ship with a chain and others do not, so confirm before buying.

About the Tissot Savonnette Mechanical Watch

The Tissot Savonnette is a mechanical pocket watch with a hinged hunter-style cover that protects the dial. It is hand-wound, so it needs winding every day, and it carries a classic dress-watch look rather than modern smart features. It suits collectors and people who want a traditional pocket watch for formal wear or display. Against quartz pocket watches it offers craftsmanship and a sweeping seconds hand, but it asks for daily attention and costs more than battery models.
