My son Anil, had not only completed his M-Tech, he was also selected for a job in a top company that has offered him an astonishing salary.
When he announced that he was going to come home for a few days, my friends insisted that I throw a party and why not? After all, he did make us proud. My wife (the smarter of the two of us), said I would have to buy our son a present. Why? I asked. Well, during the party, it would be nice to hand over a present for having done us so proud. She replied. I thought over it and realized she was right. I remembered that during Anil’s school days, we used to give him a present for being within the top 3 each academic year.
The big question was, what do we present him this time. His achievement was humongous and huge by any standards. It by far dwarfed even my own achievement. So, the present must be matched with his achievement.
Once again, I turned to my wife and asked her what she felt we should present him with. Why not give him a watch? She recommended. Come to think of it, Anil was using the same watch we had gifted him when he topped the 10th Standard. He certainly could do with a new one.
With less than 2 weeks to go before his arrival, I visited all the local watch shops and finalized three watches. Of these three, the Tissot Heritage Visodate Automatic T019.430.16.031.01 Men’s watch was on top of my list. The only reason I had not purchased it from the shop was because it was priced at Rs 98,500/- (after 10% discount). The salesman correctly perceived that the price was high and advised me to check online.
His advice turned out to be quite fruitful because I found the Tissot Heritage Visodate Automatic T019.430.16.031.01 Men’s watch at this location: https://www.citywatches.in/product/tissot-heritage-visodate-automatic-t019-430-16-031-01-mens-watch/ not only was it available but it was being sold at almost 50% discount. I could hardly believe it. My wife asked me to make sure it wasn’t a fake watch.
I checked out the site, reviews and felt reasonably certain that the site was genuine. Moreover, the watch came with an internationally valid warranty card. I said a small prayer and made the purchase. The watch arrived in about 5 days. I said another prayer and opened the box. With my wife looking over my shoulder, I took out the watch and gazed at it. To say it was beautiful would be putting it mildly.
The Tissot Heritage Visodate Automatic T019.430.16.031.01 Men’s watch was 4 cm across. It had a pristine white dial and a silvery case attached to which, was a soft brown leather belt. I noticed that the time and day-date were correctly set and I did not have to do anything other than gift wrap the watch and keep it ready for the Sunday’s program.
My wife and I both felt that a premium watch such as this, not only continued the tradition of gifting my son on his academic accomplishment, it was also the perfect gift for his latest achievement. Irrespective of the reason or occasion, with Tissot, you just can’t go wrong.
