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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wow - Service Sticker Shock!!!!, October 22, 2007

This review is from: Tissot Men's T33779851 T-Touch Titanium Black Rubber Watch (Watch)

I received by watch about 3 years ago. Paid about 500 for it. I was very pleased with it and the funcitionality until I sent it in for service. The thermometer was stuck at 99 degrees and as such figured it was time for service. I sent it to the location listed on their website and got the estimate back. Wow, what a shock. It was between $200 and $300 for service. Given that the watch was about 500 I find the service amount to be ridiculous. I have a Tag, Sector and various other high end watches. Never have I had to pay that much for service and the Tag is a $2,000 dollar watch!!! Needless to say I will not be having the watch serviced nor will I be buying a Tissot again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst watch I ever bought. In the trash now!, April 7, 2010

This review is from: Tissot Men's T33779851 T-Touch Titanium Black Rubber Watch (Watch)

Bought this Tissot because of brand and model. Worked well for a few months and then the watch started to get crazy, with pointers going to one function (altimeter) no matter where you pressed (thermom/time whatever...). Sent to service under garantee and waited for a month to repair. Came back working, but lasted for a couple months again: same problem. Went back to service under the first service garantee. One month again. Worked for bit and it's gone.... Very expensive, NOT waterproof (although they advertise is as an adventure sports watch!!!) and NOT reliable at all. NOT working again now, but out of garantee. NEVER buy this watch. Tissot do not reply to customers too. Sent many e-mails to local representative and to main office in Switzerland. No replies. They are burning the brand history with this model.

1.0 out of 5 stars p.o.'d in Canada, August 13, 2008

This review is from: Tissot Men's T33779851 T-Touch Titanium Black Rubber Watch (Watch)

Purchased the watch in April. In August the thermometer stopped working. There is no manufacturer's warranty because Amazon is not an authorized re-seller and Amazon says they won't honor their own warranty because I'm in Canada. If you're outside the U.S., you get no warranty whatsoever on this product.
