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 watch arrived in new condition and in a timely manner. Very happy with amazon.com for this. The watch came with a HUGE band... it was even loose on the wrist of my 6 foot 2, 250 pound male friend! However it was easy to get resized at a local watch shop. It was just funny that the guy doing the resizing kept reminding me that once he took off the "links" he could not put them back on... so very important to try it after each link is removed. I think I had to get about 7 links taken out, but was finally able to get it to fit just about perfectly.

I really like the look of the pink band and face, the only reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 star review is that the hour and minute hands are very hard to see against the face of the watch. They are clear & white and this does not stand out against the pink/silver background so even though the watch itself is a good size, and not one of those tiny "women's" watches, it is still hard to tell the time with a glance. I find I have to take a good 5 seconds to stare at the watch to figure out where the hands are.

All in all I am pleased with the purchase and may in fact purchase it again as a gift for a good friend of mine.

Bought this for my breast cancer survivor wife for her birthday (one of the significant ones) and she couldn't have been more thrilled. It has a look that I'd have to categorize as "sporty elegance" and it looks absolutely fabulous on her left wrist alongside her Pandora bracelet. Tissot has outdone themselves with this watch and she'll be wearing it with pride for many, many years to come. She's even asked me to look into getting her another strap or two so that she can coordinate it with her outfits.

I saw this watch on a waitress on a cruise and loved it. We looked all over at the ports and it was $100 more than on Amazon so I waited till be got home and ordered it. Love it very much. It is beautiful and very comfortable.
