About Tissot Watches

Tissot is a Swiss watch brand known worldwide for combining innovation, quality, and accessible pricing under its motto “Innovators by Tradition.” A member of the Swatch Group and Official Timekeeper for numerous international sports, Tissot delivers Swiss-made precision across a remarkably versatile range of timepieces.

History of Tissot

Founded in 1853 in Le Locle, Switzerland by Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Émile, Tissot built its reputation on pioneering timepieces — from early pocket watches to the first mass-produced pocket watch with two time zones. Now part of the Swatch Group, Tissot continues its tradition of innovation with modern materials and movements such as the Powermatic 80.
