About the Brand

Innovators by Tradition

Tissot has been making Swiss watches since 1853, making it one of the oldest watchmakers in Switzerland. The brand occupies a sweet spot: genuine Swiss quality at prices that don't require a second mortgage.

As the official timekeeper of the NBA, MotoGP, and the Tour de France, Tissot has deep connections to professional sports. The brand produces over 4 million watches per year — more than almost any Swiss manufacturer.

Tissot's Powermatic 80 movement offers an 80-hour power reserve at price points where competitors offer 38-42 hours. This means you can take your watch off Friday night and it'll still be running Monday morning.

For many collectors, Tissot is the gateway to Swiss watchmaking — offering the quality, heritage, and movements of brands costing twice as much.
