Vintage 1990s Tissot Ballade Swiss Watch Print Advertisement — Security Agent Original Ad
Approximately 8.5 x 11 inches.
This vintage 1990s Tissot Ballade magazine advertisement captures the Swiss watchmaker's sharp storytelling at its most cinematic. Set at 9:07 pm at a helicopter airport in West New York, the original print ad follows fictional security agent Julie Hayek — on her phone, mid-action against a moody black-and-white cityscape — with a bold red headline card anchoring the drama. The collectible ad showcases the Tissot Ballade's two-tone gold and steel ladies' bracelet watch in a clean color inset, a striking contrast to the noir-style scene. Tissot's 'Swiss Watches since 1853' branding grounds the campaign in heritage, making this vintage advertisement a compelling artifact of 1990s luxury watch marketing aimed squarely at the empowered professional woman.
