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 T34172852 PR 50 Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I received one of these for a gift. The first button fell off on the second day I used the watch. After a seven week wait to get a new watch fixed the second button fell off in about two weeks. I demanded and received a refund.

This review is from: Tissot Men's T34172852 PR 50 Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I received one of these as a gift. As mentioned in the above review one of the button fell off. I observed this only after 5 months. I tried taking it to an Authorized TISSOT Service center. But since i had got this from Amazon the warranty was void. When i contacted Amazon they said since this watch was sold by a third party vendor "Watch Savings", i had to contact them for warranty. When i contacted the vendor they say their warranty covers only internal repairs. Now i have to spend on my own to get it repaired even after having a 2 year warranty on the watch....

This is a good watch and I think the reviews that were low ratings, just had trouble in the shipping that did it
