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.

Lo compré para un amigo, al verlo decidí comprar uno para mi.
creo que lo unico negativo que veo es el tipo de banda que utiliza (que hacer al danarse tendre que comprarla solo con tissot)
Por lo demas todo es perfecto.

I bought this for my husband. It's a heavy, solid, high quality watch for every occasion. If you don't like rubber wrist bands then look elsewhere. Band has to be cut to adjust for smaller wrists. Tissot is a quality watch company with a great product line. And the box that the watch came in is one of the finest I've seen. Again, goes back to the details.

My video review of the 2008 Tissot T-Race MotoGP.
Summary: Very nice looking, great mix of materials, good color combination, good overall weight and substance (not too heavy or thick, but still substantial), excellent detail and craftsmanship, very interesting to look at.

Personal taste items: It's busy; there's a lot going on with this watch so if you're looking for a clean, simple look- this isn't the watch for you. The outer ring is superfluous as far as I can tell- no real practical function (but it still looks nice). Rubber band has to be cut to be adjusted. It's a simple process and I easily did it myself, but some may need a jewelers help.

Hopefully the video review is helpful. Good luck!
