Toronto, Canada – Sept 1st, 2025 – Tessé Watches, the independent Swiss-made microbrand known for blending 1970s design heritage with modern craftsmanship, announces the release of its latest Michel GMT variant: the Crimson Drive.
Inspired by the vibrant spirit of 1970s motorsport and the golden age of independent travel, the Crimson Drive captures the essence of speed, precision, and freedom. Its deep red dial, paired with the iconic Michel GMT case, delivers a striking new interpretation of Tessé’s debut model.
The Michel GMT collection was born from founder Thomas Brissiaud’s search for quality, refinement, and meaning in watchmaking. After years of development and collaboration with multiple manufacturers, the model was entrusted to Swiss artisans to ensure uncompromising standards. The Crimson Drive continues this legacy with bold style and enduring precision.
Following a successful Kickstarter campaign earlier this year, Tessé Watches is proud to announce that orders placed by backers are now being shipped out to clients worldwide.
In addition, the Michel GMT is now available in multiple colorways, all in stock and ready to ship from the Tessé online store.
The Crimson Drive will debut at the Toronto Timepiece Show in September 2025, with orders available on the Tessé Watches website starting Sept 10, 2025.
