Jamy Gourmaud — watch collection

About Jamy Gourmaud’s watch collection

Jamy Gourmaud is one of France's most recognisable science communicators, spending over two decades as the co-host of the beloved French television program C'est pas sorcier, a show that introduced generations of French viewers to science, technology, and the natural world in an accessible, curious format. Since stepping away from the program, Gourmaud has transitioned into a successful career as a writer, authoring popular science books that carry the same spirit of curiosity and clarity that defined his television work. His ability to break down complex subjects for a general audience has earned him a loyal following well beyond his broadcasting years.

When it comes to watches, the Jamy Gourmaud watch collection reflects exactly what you might expect from someone who built a career on intellectual rigour delivered without ceremony. Gourmaud has been photographed wearing a Tissot T-Touch Expert Solar, reference T091.420.47.051.01, distinguished by its vivid orange rubber strap, matching orange applied indices and hands, and a grey tactile sapphire crystal dial. The T-Touch Expert Solar sits at the top of Tissot's T-Touch family and, introduced in 2013, represents a genuinely functional piece of engineering: solar-powered, with a touch-sensitive crystal that activates a suite of outdoor functions including an altimeter, barometer, compass, and weather forecast indicator. It is a watch built for use, not display.

The choice of a Tissot — a Swiss manufacture with strong credibility but firmly accessible pricing — rather than a prestige luxury brand says something concrete about Gourmaud's sensibility. The T-Touch Expert Solar is the kind of watch a scientist or serious outdoor enthusiast might actually reach for, which makes it a coherent fit for a writer whose entire public identity has been built around taking ideas seriously and keeping them grounded.
