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 Women's TIST34718132 PR50 Silver Dial Watch (Watch)

This watch arrived today from a 3rd party seller and I couldn't be happier. The watch itself is a stunner: crisp dial components with silver tone hands and hour markers; a bright, clear sapphire crystal; case is brushed titanium with a polished bezel; lightweight but solid band of brushed and polished titanium; a clasp that easily clicks closed and opens via side buttons. My only caveat is that the very light gray/silver tone of the face results in less contrast with the hands/hour marks. The thin hands contain a sliver of light-sensitive material, which should make them visible in the dark. The design and workmanship of this watch are high quality and up to date without being trendy. If you're looking for a classic, Swiss quality watch, consider this one. (btw, it came in a large, solidly-made flip-top black and red Tissot gift box along with the user manual, a glossy Tissot catalog booklet and a paperback history of the company)
