Description
The Tissot brand, founded in the mid-nineteenth century in the small town of Le Locle, one of the cradles of Swiss watchmaking, has a rich and fascinating history.
How did it all begin?
On 1 July 1853, Charles-Félicien Tissot, who worked with gold cases, established the shop Ch. Félicien Tissot & Fils with his son, Charles-Emile Tissot, a watchmaker. At that time, Tissot operated as a comptoir d’établissage, a network of independent and highly skilled workers who produced individual watch parts in their homes.
These components were then assembled and sold in the shop. Tissot mainly produced pocket watches, exclusive chain watches and functional timepieces, primarily intended for sale in the United States, which was the company's first market. The next step for the Swiss manufacturer was Russia, a large and affluent market.
- At the end of 1917, the company Chs. Tissot & Fils SA was established, becoming a manufacture by introducing the production of movement blanks, operating in this way for the following decades. Shortly after, the brand strengthened its presence in the international market.
In 1930, Tissot and Omega merged, creating the first Swiss watchmaking company SSIH (Société Suisse pour l’Industrie Horlogère).
In the 1970s, the Swiss watchmaking industry was severely affected by a crisis that emerged with the advent of quartz watches. In 1983, Nicolas G. Hayek, who conducted an audit of the watchmaking sector, recommended the merger of the largest watch manufacturing groups of that time: SSIH (mainly Tissot and Omega) and ASUAG (a holding combining manufacturers of movement blanks and components).
The group named SMH (Swiss Corporation for Microelectronics and Watchmaking Industries Ltd.) transformed into The Swatch Group in 1998. Since 1996, Tissot has been managed by François Thiébaud.
Today, Tissot is a very well-known and elite watch brand, as appreciated by collectors and all lovers of good design.
