Chicago Bulls Edition Tissot Quickster
I like talking about local watch makers, and I also like bringing you word of cool watch-related events that are coming to my neck of the woods. Tissot is making a lot of noise around their new partnership with the NBA. At the moment, we do not have much in the way of new designs or team-specific watches, but they are working to get the word out about the relationship.
INDIANAPOLIS – MAY 29: Toni Kukoc #7 of the Chicago Bulls drives to the basket against Antonio Davis #33 of the Indiana Pacers in Game Six of the Eastern Conference Finals during the 1998 NBA Playoffs
To that end, there is a bit of a road show coming to the Tissot boutique in Macy’s Water Tower (806 N Michigan Ave.) starting January 15th, running through the 20th. On the 15th, you will have an opportunity to meet Toni Kukoc, and on the 16th, Bob Love. Through the duration of the 5-day event, there will also be giveaways and ticket sweepstakes.
Bob Love – 1974-75 – at Cleveland (Carl Skalak Jr )
You can check out the full details of the various signings below. If you head over to the show, be sure to reach out and give us an “on the ground” report. tissotwatches.com
