What does the Brand stand for?

Tissot was founded in Le Locle, in 1853, by Charles-Félicien and Charles-Émile Tissot. The father’s art of handling gold combined with his son’s craft of watchmaking resulted in complex pocket and fine pendant watches.

The brand stood up to two World Wars and several economic crises due to its open-mindedness on novelty and transformations. Tissot has always been able to balance design and aesthetics with technical innovations. It found strengths in its legacy and in its capability to quickly adapt to changes in its environment.

Today, Tissot is a crosswise brand that offers affordable watches of high-quality and exquisite classic timepieces. Its heritage is also a central element of its positioning, and it is not a surprise if it is still possible to find the old family spirit of the founders in today’s brand’s offices.

If you are interested in history, legacy, and permanent challenges and innovation: then Tissot is the right brand for you!
