History of Tissot

Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Émile founded the Tissot brand in the Swiss city of Le Locle, where it first gained recognition for pocket watches. Their early success with exporting to the United States and Russia laid the groundwork for international expansion and innovation. In the 1930s, Tissot merged with Omega, further strengthening its reputation for technical advancement. The mid-20th century saw the introduction of groundbreaking models like the Tissot Navigator, one of the first automatic watches with a 24-time zone function. As the years progressed, the company continued to release models that pushed boundaries in sports timing, material use, and durability.
