MotoGP fans will have the opportunity to meet Britain's rising motorbike star, Bradley Smith, who will be available to answer questions and offer tips and advice to avid motorcycle fans.  Enthusiasts of the sport can purchase the Limited Edition Tissot T-Race MotoGP watches from Goldsmiths and can bring along MotoGP memorabilia to be signed by Bradley.

Bradley Smith
“My involvement with Tissot is so important to me because they are such an iconic brand in international sport and especially in MotoGP. Not only are they the Official Timekeeper but they have also introduced their unique range of MotoGP watches through their Pole Position Awards and rider endorsements.“

“I’m proud to be associated with Tissot and after some hectic Moto2 races, I’m really looking forward to coming to Goldsmiths in Manchester to meet the fans who have given me such fantastic support during my Grand Prix career. It’s a great opportunity for me to thank them for their support and also to meet people who may have never been to a MotoGP event and just want to find out what all the fuss is about.“

For Tissot, “In touch with your time” is far more than an advertising claim. This phrase expresses the brand’s DNA; its proven dedication to being perfectly in tune with the technology and tastes of each era. Tissot has been growing and developing its tradition of innovation since 1853. From the early days to the present, in its home in Le Locle in the Swiss Jura mountains, Tissot has translated craftsmanship and precision into stylish timepieces now sold in over150 countries around the world. Special materials, advanced functionality and meticulous design detail join forces to create the luxury of accessibility. Today Tissot is a member of the Swatch Group, the world’s largest watch producer and distributor of Swiss watches, as well as official timekeeper and partner of NASCAR®, FIBA, AFL, CBA, MotoGP and the World Championships of Cycling, Fencing and Ice hockey. The tradition of innovation lives on, keeping closely in touch with the times. www.tissot.ch
