A Brief History of Tissot
Innovators by Tradition.
Tissot’s motto perfectly embodies the brand’s values and passion for precise craftsmanship, as well as its focus on heritage while still looking to push boundaries.
The Swiss brand was launched in 1853 in Le Locle by Charles-Félicien Tissot and Charles-Émile Tissot, a father-son duo who initially focused on pocket watches, pendant watches and complications for the US. Just in their first year, Tissot sold around 1,200 to the area around Le Locle and, by 1858, the watchmakers were already selling Tissot Savonnette pocket watches to the Russian Empire.
Tissot has always had strong connections to the world of sports, including car racing and ice hockey, because its watches are designed with performance and accuracy in mind. In fact, Tissot has been an official timekeeper for sporting events since 1938, when it partnered with several ski races in Villars-sur-Ollon near the Jura Mountains.
Today, Tissot watches are sold in over 160 countries and its high calibre is widely recognised by watch aficionados, public figures and celebrities alike. The plus sign in the logo represents Swiss quality and reliability, as the watchmaker is known for creating pieces with advanced functionalities, meticulous design and special materials.
Tissot is part of the Swatch Group and has adorned the wrists of famous figures like Grace Kelly and the Duchess of Cambridge.
Tissot: Swiss Elegance and Precision
Paving the way when it comes to affordable luxury, Tissot watches are not just stylish, but also highly practical and durable. They're ideal companions for anyone who wishes to own a versatile everyday piece they can take everywhere, as well as for people who need a piece for their daily adventures.
From the track to the office – and everything else in-between – Tissot watches come in several different shapes and sizes, not to mention colours and materials, ensuring you’ll be spoilt for choice when purchasing your next piece.
The watchmaker was the first to create watches out of ceramic, mother-of-pearl and wood, so they’re not strangers to innovation, having also invented the first anti-magnetic watch in the world. The brand has also used plastic and stone as materials for their watches, as well as high-tech titanium and other revolutionary materials.
