The House

Tissot has spent more than 173 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's PRX, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.

Charles-Félicien Tissot established Tissot in 1853, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Tissot calibre produced today.
