Tissot ‘touches’ Mr And Mrs Smith

Malta Independent Friday, 17 June 2005, 00:00 Last update: about 11 years ago

The sexy, summer action-adventure film Mr and Mrs Smith stars Brad Pitt (John Smith) and Angelina Jolie (Jane Smith). Like millions of other ‘ordinary’ married couples, John and Jane Smith wake up, go to work, eat dinner, and go to sleep, and they do a lot of it on auto-pilot. But John and Jane are no ordinary couple – they have a secret, one they keep even from each other.

Their secret is that they are highly paid, incredibly efficient assassins, each working for different employers. As things evolve, they discover a new source of excitement in their marriage, when they are hired to assassinate each other... and that is when the real fun starts.

John and Jane use high-tech equipment to enhance and perform their jobs. In one key desert scene, Jane blows up her target and fends off an attack by John Smith. Her Tissot T-Touch provides critical information for her assignment.

This is the second outing for the Swiss watchmaker Tissot and Ms Jolie. In her action film, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life, she introduced audiences to the functions and style of Tissot’s T-Touch. Since then, this unique touch screen watch has become one of the most popular selling models from this 153-year-old watch brand.

By activating the tactile crystal, Tissot T-Touch wearers have, at their fingertips, a chronograph, a compass, barometric pressure readings, an alarm, temperature and an altmetre, not to mention date and time. These functions, outlined on the watch bezel, are activated by the simple touch on the glass of this extraordinary timepiece.

The Tissot T-Touch with its cutting-edge design and exclusive precision technology is thus the perfect fit in the high-tech dynamic environment of this sexy action-film. Mr and Mrs Smith, a spectacular entertainment with globe-trotting action, adventure, state-of-the-art special effects and incredible stunts, opened in theatres nationwide last week. Twentieth Century Fox releases the film, which is from Regency Enterprises.
