Tissot, a prominent luxury Swiss watchmaker firm was founded in the year 1853. The mastermind behind the success of manufacturing Tissot watches was none other than Charles-Felicien and his lad Charles-Emile Tissot. They were the ones who made the Tissot factory prominent in the Swiss city of Le Locle. Make sure, you do not get confused with another Swiss watch making firm called Mathey-Tissot, which was founded in 1886 by Edmond Mathey-Tissot.
History says that Tissot was the first company to introduce the first pocket watch in 1853 with two time zones. Then again within the span of 1929-30, the company came up with anti-magnetic watch. They were in fact the first one to manufacture this timepiece in the market. In 1858, Charles-Emile left for Russia to sell their pocket watches all over the Russian Empire and they were successful in their mission. To be noted, they were also the first watch-making company to manufacture timepieces out of stone ( (Alpine granite Rock watch), plastic (IDEA 2001), wood (Wood watch), and mother of pearl ( Pearl watch).
In 1930, to give a grand surprise to the industry, both Tissot and Omega merged together to form a family. Creating sought after timepieces was their only concern when they decided to work together. Did you know Tissot has been the largest watch distributor and producer across the globe? The company is even the official timekeeper of the global championship in motorcycling, ice hockey, cycling, and fencing. Tissot watches were even used for the Switzerland’s Downhill Skiing in 1938 and Davis Cup in 1957. The company was also a chief sponsor of the teams of Formula One.
