From its inception the company has been dedicated to taking its innovations of designer watches to foreign destinations for the rich and famous. In 1858, Charles-Emile ventured to Russia and successfully sold Tissot savonnette pocket watches across the huge empire. Tissot now have worldwide recognition and continue to play a leading role in watch making innovation. In recent times, much of Tissot Touch notable success has come following a 1985 merger with The Swatch Group, the largest watch producer and distributor worldwide since 1983. Positively, it has made for some of the most leading innovation within the industry and the development of high-tech products, special materials and advanced functionality. Interestingly, it has also allowed for a broader, more versatile range of high-quality designer watches at very attractive prices in comparison with any other Swiss brand. Founded in 1853 and makers of the first mass-produced pocket watch, Tissot are still based at their Le Locle home in Switzerland. I wonder what Charles-Felicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile, who established the factory in the Swiss city would think of their now impressive 150 country coverage?
