The Swiss Engineering Behind Tissot Watches

Tissot is one of those rare companies that have always focused on one thing and continued excelling at it as the ages went by

. Tissot watches carry behind them the legacy of a company that was the first to bring mass-market pocket watches and first pocket watch with two time zones way back in 1853. And the story just gets better.

It is also the company that made the first plastic watch (IDEA 2001 in 1971), the first watch made out of rock (Alpine granite Rock Watch in 1985), the first mother of pearl watch (the Pearl Watch in 1987) and the first watch made out of wood (Wood watch in 1988). The company had merged with the Omega watchmaking house in 1930 and the Tissot-Omega watches are still some of the most prized collectible watches in the world. Tissot has also been a part of the Swatch Group Ltd. since 1983. Swatch is the largest producer and distributor of watches in the entire world.

Tissot is one company that has stayed where it was first established (Le Locle, Switzerland) and has continued excelling at making watches. When you have a company this large, it is easy to get carried away and lose your focus to merchandising. But at Tissot, making timeless timepieces has always been the focus.

With the honor of being the official timekeepers of such entities as NASCAR, MotoGP, the World Championship of Cycling, Fencing, Ice Hockey and more under their belt the trust placed in them shows the precision craftsmanship that they put into their watches.

So when you are buying Tissot watches, you are taking part in a 154-year-old legacy that has been safe guarded by the masters of time keeping. And the timeless is still very contemporary. Tissot Watches are constantly updated to match newer trends in fashion and lifestyle while also making sure that they are on the cutting edge of technology as well.

The current highlight of the Tissot line is the T-Touch series, that has sapphire glass touch sensitive displays that lets users operate various features of the watch by touching the display. Their watches have come to include multiple sensitive gauges like thermometer, barometer (for measuring atmospheric pressure), altimeter (for measuring the height from sea level) and compasses making them some of the most sophisticated explorer watches in the world.

Owning Tissot watches also puts you in the same league as a lot of stars. Tissot watches have been featured on the likes of Angelina Jolie, Elvis Presley, Grace Kelly and even James Stewart.

As high tech these watches are, they are still some of the best looking watches money can buy. They have collections for both men and women that are fully equipped to go with any look that you can throw at them from sporty to fully formal and everything in the middle, they have it all.

Hence, if you are looking to buy a watch that will let you be part of the Swiss precision engineering legacy you must go for Tissot.
