Georg Forster unternahm im Frühjahr 1790, begleitet (!) vom noch jungen Alexander von Humboldt, eine Reise, die ihn vom Rheingau nach Ehrenbreitstein, Köln, Düsseldorf über Aachen u. a. nach Lüttich und Brüssel, in die Niederlande nach England und schließlich nach Paris führte. In seinem dreibändig erschienenen Werk hat er seine Beobachtungen festgehalten. Ansichten vom Niederrhein stand lange im Schatten seiner epochalen Voyage Round The World, der Reise um die Welt, die er als erst zwanzigjähriger Begleiter der zweiten Weltumsegelung von Captain Cook 1775/1776 verfasst hatte. Doch dieselbe Stilsicherheit, dieselbe Beobachtungsgabe kommen auch in den Ansichten von Niederrhein zum Tragen - geschärft um die Erfahrung in Forschung, Lehre und politischem Engagement, die sich Georg Forster in den 15 Jahren, die zwischen beiden Reisebüchern liegen, erworben hat. Anders als noch auf der Cook-Expedition, war das Hauptanliegen Forsters nicht botanisch präzise und zoologisch exakte Beschreibungen noch unbekannter Arten von Tieren und Pflanzen. Seine Meisterschaft liegt neben der Beschreibung der vertrauten Landschaft nordeuropäischer Niederungen und der Landessitten der Bevölkerung in der bestechenden Beobachtung des ökonomischen Zustands und der vergleichenden Betrachtung der politischen Verfasstheit der bereisten Staaten. Richtungsweisend war Forsters Bericht auch in ästhetischer Hinsicht: Mit der Vielzahl präziser und brillant geschriebener Beschreibungen von Architektur und vor allem Kunst hat er der noch jungen Disziplin der Kunstgeschichte in ihren Anfängen geholfen und ihr sogleich das Vorbild eines mustergültigen Stils mitgegeben. "Mehr hat man doch nicht, als was einem durch diese zwei Oeffnungen der Pupille fällt und die Schwingungen des Gehirns erregt. Anders als so nehmen wir die Welt und ihr Wesen nicht auf." - Georg Forster

A Beautiful Timepiece at an Awesome Price!!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I have lusted after this watch for four months. I first tried on a similar model (stainless steel band with a green face) in a local jewelry shop (Spitz Jewlers, Walnut Creek, CA, USA). It was "love at first sight," even if I didn't love the white lines on the face from 12-6 and 3-9. At the time, the MSRP was $775. The MSRP has since increased to $795. But I bought this beauty on Amazon.com for only $524.99; after applying the cash-back from my Prime credit card, this watch costs only $498.75. This was "the offer that I could not refuse," to quote from "The Godfather." Accuracy could be better: after only a few days, it is now 7 seconds behind my phone (to which I set my new watch). But I don't really care about that all that much. This is why I rated "accuracy" at 4 stars, but my overall review is 5 stars. My video shows the date changing suddenly at 11:59:59pm, just how I want it; in another photo, you can see that my Seiko changes the date more slowly, which I do not like. This watch is absolutely phenomenally beautiful. If you're on the fence over whether to make this purchase, then I would say "go for it!" You will not find a prettier, more accurate watch at a lower price in ANY store in the entire USA.

Classy and sporty. Great value!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Excellent watch for the price. Looks sporty and dressy. More towards dress watch. Blue is dynamic. Strongly recommend blue for sporty feel. I was thinking of aqua terra. This come close to it with a price less than what i would have paid my state tax for omega aqua terra. My only concern is bracelet which i feel kind of OK. Better bracelet design would have made this watch much superior. 21 lug width is awful. Other than that, nothing to complain.

Stunning Gentleman's Watch
Color: Grey
This is my second Tissot watch. It's quite stunning in person. The online photos don't do it justice. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive gentleman's watch which makes this purchase a great bargain. Tissot is a great reliable Swiss made watch brand. My first Tissot watch which is probably more than 20 years old still runs great. Very pleased with this purchase.

Good Tissot Watch
Color: Grey
Arrived on time, in its original box, include a 2 year international warranty, into the box include a book with the Tissot brand history in Switzerland. Algo a second book with a whole catalog of Tissot watches men and women. The watch looks better when you put in on your wrist. The “naval” blue really gives the clock a classy look. The stainless steel workmanship is really good, the metal is bright and perfectly polished. The metal wristband quality is very good, did not have any problem to adjust the size , I went to my preferred clock workshop for this job, they extracted a few pieces of the band to fit to my small wrist size. Have to get used to the butterfly latch, but after a few days, now I learned to open and close it without any effort. The clock it’s very accurate, I’ve been using my Tissot for near a month and it just increased a few seconds per week. I do the setup and check accuracy with my pc clock. In short, It”s a good value watch, nice, good looking, accurate.

Stunning Automatic Watch With TopTier Durability and Precision
Color: Grey
“I got this Tissot PRX for my cousin’s birthday and bro fell in LOVE instantly. This thing keeps time like a beast, never slows down, never lags. Automatic movement, so no batteries, no drama. Durability? Stupid good. You can hit it, bump it, live life rough, it still looks box fresh. Size wise it was almost perfect. I just had to remove two links, nothing big. It’s light, functional, comfortable, doesn’t weigh you down, doesn’t get in the way but more importantly I can say this watch is in everyone’s eyesight when we wear it. Cause of course I had to get another one! Basically. I gave him a very nice piece as a gift, and now he’s walking around like he owns Switzerland.
