Tissot Brand History
Tissot was founded in 1853 by Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son
Charles-Émile Tissot in the Swiss city of Le Locle. The father and son
duo turned their house into a small factory and in 1858 Charles-Émile
Tissot left home to sell their savonette pocket watches overseas.
Tissot introduced the first mass-produced pocket watch as well as the
first pocket watch with two time zones in 1853. After numerous
generations of Tissot family members working to keep the good name
of the company alive, Tissot and Omega became partners under the
SSIH banner in 1903. The same year, they released the world’s first
anti-magnetic watch. After World War II and until the Quartz
Revolution in the early 1970s, Tissot was thriving; some of the
brand’s best watches were produced during this time. But when the
Quartz Revolution hit, Tissot was heavily affected and the brand had
to reconsider its strategy. After a switch to producing mostly quartz
watches in the early 1970s, the brand refocused on innovation. Over
the past 25 years, two different sides of the brand have developed.
The first came in the form of the Tissot T-Touch in 1999, which
features a touchscreen display and functions in both digital and
analogue form. The other side is a celebration of mechanical
watchmaking, with the most popular example being the PRX.
Tissot Style
Tissot is a watch brand for those who seek out great versatility. From
sporty smartwatches to pieces of rich history, the brand’s wide
portfolio ensures there is a watch for every taste. Tissot has been
split into various categories, those being: T-Sport, T-Touch, T-Classic
and T-Lady. While they each have individual flair, they share the best
parts of fine Swiss watchmaking and exceptional craftsmanship.
Tissot & The World of Sport
Tissot’s relationship with sport began in 1598 when Swiss driver Harry
Zweifel sent Tissot a signed photograph where he had written “My
Tissot is by my side at every race”. Since then, thanks to the brand’s
high calibre, Tissot has maintained its close relationship with various
sporting bodies. Tissot has been named the Official Timekeeper and
Partner for many prestigious events such as the Tour de France, the
MotoGP, the NBA, La Vuelta and the EPCR alongside the IIHF Ice
Hockey.
