WATCH POP

I ran across a Mathey-Tissot watch at the local flea market, yesterday, and was wondering if I should go back and buy it today.
It was a Mathey-Tissot...boy's size quartz. Beautifully made, and with a nice coin edge bezel. It was right on the "almost big enough" size for a dress watch...around 30-32mm. I have pencil wrists, considering my size and weight, so small can work for me.
Anyway, I put it down, since it said the movement was from Japan. I thought Tissot was Swiss, probably Swatch group. But, has Mathey Tissot used Japanese movements?
THANKS for the help, guys...
-- Chuck Knight Mathey Tissot and Tissot are two different companies.
Tissot is in the Swatch group.
Mathey Tissot's name may have been revived, I have only seen old vintage models.
Cheers, Neil. I bought a quartz Matthey-Tissot submariner-like model in 1998. It had a Swiss movement and was a good watch. HOwever, like I have done with nearly every battery-powered watch I've bought, I sold it because it got little use once I began acquiring modern mechanical pieces.
I'm not sure about the lineage nor the conitnuity of the M-T brand. They seem to be little understood. (I don't know if they were movement makers at one time, or just a brand name like Wakmann or Helbros which (IIRC) were just companies who put their name on other peoples' products.
These days, with Elgin and Waltham and Gruen and other venerable names being slapped onto cheap watches from China, Japan or other countries where the flags do not have white stripes or crosses, I am not surprised at the appearance of an old name on something that does not meet the standards of my memory of the brand.
Tissot, however, still puts out some amazing products and seems to be underappreciated, at least in the USA.
