Product Description

The Tissot Story

For more than 150 years, Tissot has embodied the innovation and tradition of Swiss watch-making. Based in the Neuchâtel area of the Jura Mountains, in Le Locle, Switzerland, Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile created the watch making company Tissot in 1853. Whether in the technology of its movements, in the research for special materials or in the very functions of the watch itself, Tissot's engineers and watchmakers have developed pioneering timepieces over the years.

Some of Tissot's triumphs over the years include the the Idea 2001 (the world's first plastic watch) released in 1971, the Rock watch (which set the timepiece's movement in a stone case made from Swiss Alps granite) in 1985, and the Wood watch from 1988 (with a completely wooden case). Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the highest quality materials (316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratch-proof glasses (sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers).

The company has been involved with high profile sports events since 1974 when they sponsored a racing car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, France. Since then Tissot's timepieces have been chosen as official timekeepers for world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey. And Tissot is currently the the official watch and timekeeper of NASCAR.

Tissot timepieces have been worn by a bevy of celebrities over the years--including Grace Kelly, Elvis Presley and Nelson Mandela--and James Stewart's character L.B. Jefferies wore a Tissot timepiece in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window." Today the company is represented in a variety of sporting fields by English soccer star Michael Owen, IndyCar driver Danica Patrick, and MotoGP world champion Nicky Hayden. Today, Tissot is a member of the Swatch Group, the world's largest watch producer and distributor.

This review is from: Tissot Men's T0084174406100 PRC 100 Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I've had this watch for the past year, and its easily the best I've owned. Reasons?
1. Accuracy - Hasn't lost more than 10 seconds these last 12 months.
2. Weight - Since the case is made of titanium, the watch is INCREDIBLY light. At the risk of being clich`ed: it feels like you're wearing nothing at all.
3. Tough - I was wearing the watch when I had a canoeing accident. The watch came through without a single scratch. The hands glowed brightly that night, telling me exactly how long I had been marooned in the woods, and how much longer I had till daylight.
4. Chronograph easy to use.

Any cons?
None till now

Everyone has a different taste. This is mine;
I was looking for a clock which was full titan, easy to read and had a macho look without overdoing it. I believe that I found all of these qualities in this clock, and haven't been disapointed at all!

A beautiful, well priced quality clock from Tissot!

This review is from: Tissot Men's T0084174406100 PRC 100 Chronograph Watch (Watch)

We are very pleased with the watch that we purchased but not happy about the lack of exchange program that Amazon has for watches. I intially purchased another Tissot watch for my boyfriend for Christmas. He liked the watch I chose but it wasnt exactly what he wanted so I tried to exchange it for this one. They would not allow an exchange. I had to return this watch- wait to get credited and then order the watch- this took weeks. Annoying.
