“Tissot was founded in 1853 by Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Émile in Le Locle, Switzerland. The company gained international recognition by adapting to new technologies, releasing the world’s first non-magnetic wristwatch in 1930 and pioneering the Touchscreen watch in 1999. Tissot has also served as the official timekeeper for numerous sporting events and is now a part of the Swatch Group.Â
