If you’re searching for Tissot watches in Nashville, TN, or you want to shop Tissot online with confidence, King Jewelers makes it easy to do both: browse a curated selection on KingJewelers.com and visit the Nashville showroom at 4121 Hillsboro Pike, Nashville, TN 37215. 

More importantly for watch collectors: King Jewelers is an authorized retailer of Tissot in Nashville, which matters for authenticity, warranty support, and a smooth buying experience—especially if you’re purchasing your first “real” watch. 

Tissot’s story starts where a lot of great Swiss watchmaking begins: Le Locle, Switzerland, a mountain town that helped define the country’s watch industry. On Tissot’s official history page, the brand describes itself as blending tradition with a pioneering spirit “since 1853,” grounded in Le Locle and more than 170 years of continuous watchmaking. That long runway matters. 

Tissot is one of those rare brands that has kept a clear mission across eras—make Swiss watches that feel substantial, well-designed, and mechanically credible, without demanding luxury-brand money. That’s exactly why collectors so often recommend Tissot as the ideal starting point for a watch collection.

One of the reasons Tissot is so easy to recommend is the way its catalog “maps” to real life: an everyday integrated-bracelet sports watch, a water-ready diver, a clean dress watch, and a modern all-rounder—often at prices that let you build a collection over time.

KingJewelers.com groups its Tissot offering into popular families including PRX, Seastar, Gentleman, PR 100, PR516, and XL. Here’s how enthusiasts typically think about them:

Tissot publishes an official Bestsellers selection—helpful because it reflects what shoppers and enthusiasts gravitate toward most often.
Here are 10 top Tissot best sellers from that selection:

If you’re shopping at King Jewelers, these same “headline” families—PRX, Seastar, PR 100, Gentleman, PR516—are the core pillars of what you’ll see online and in-store.

Collectors can be brutally practical. They want the watch to feel “real”—solid bracelet feel, clean finishing, good dial work—without paying extra for hype. Tissot’s best models consistently overdeliver for the price, which is why watches like the PRX have become modern entry-level classics.

In a 2025 roundup of standout starter watches, GQ singled out the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 as a compelling way to get the angular, 1970s-inspired steel-sports-watch vibe at an attainable price point. That’s collector language for: “buy it, wear it hard, and you still won’t regret it when your collection grows.”

A well-rounded watch collection usually includes:

- a daily watch (PRX / Gentleman)

- a sport/dive option (Seastar)

- something classic/dressy (PR 100 / Le Locle / Classic Dream)

- and maybe a bolder, casual piece (XL)

Tissot gives you all of that within one brand ecosystem—so you can learn what you like without spinning out.

If you’re starting a watch collection, your first “anchor” watch should be:

- versatile enough to wear constantly

- strong enough to take life

- reputable enough that enthusiasts respect it

- and affordable enough that it doesn’t end the hobby before it begins.

That combination is exactly why so many collectors start people at Tissot—especially PRX, Gentleman, and Seastar—and why buying through an authorized retailer like King Jewelers is the smart move for peace of mind.
