A fundamental story.
The history of Tissot wristwatches begins at a time when all local farmers, in the winter time of the year, were deprived of their source of funding, so this cold period they devoted to the manufacture of watches. In 1853, in the city of Le Locle (Switzerland), the watchmaker Charles-Félicien Tissot, together with his son Charles-Emile, decided to create a company that produced watches. She was called "Charles Tissot and son." This company produced pocket watch watches. The manufacture of these watches was made in a small workshop by the owners themselves. Those handed out parts of the mechanisms and hulls to the peasants, who at home collected watches and after a certain time brought them. After that, the already manufactured watches passed a thorough examination and they were put on a sign that showed that they meet all the quality standards. The main principle of the Tissot watch was the principle of impeccability and quality, which is still used today.
The main supplier of the imperial court.
It's not strange, but it was in Russia that the Tissot watch enjoyed great success. The company acquired the status of the main supplier of the imperial court and received a large-scale order for making watches for the Russian army. At that time the most famous model of the company was pocket Swiss watches for officers, on which the emblem of the Russian imperial regiments was engraved. They had the name "Tsar". The most famous among collectors is a watch with a monogram of the Guards Regiment and a dedication from the Imperial Guards of the Volyn Regiment. By the way, it is for exclusive connoisseurs of Tissot and today they make in a very limited number of copies of watches of the royal regiment that are absolutely indistinguishable from the original. This watch is made entirely of gilded silver.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Charles Tissot noticed that the manual way of making watches became in time not relevant. Therefore, he unconditionally turns his workshops into a well-equipped factory that supports innovations in production. Already under the leadership of Paul Tissot, who took over the duties of a manager in 1911, the production of a whole series, once single specimens of watches with the monogram of the Guards Regiment, was neglected.
After the fall of the tsarist regime in Russia, the loss of a vast and bringing a small profit to the market was also noticeably lost. To somehow stay afloat at a difficult financial moment, the company's management decided to start making watches of design models. It was this period that served as the appearance of a watch that gently clung to the wrist and was in the style of art deco. These watches soon received the name "Banana". Also, the watch model called "Hermetic" was very popular. They were a pocket watch made of silver, had an alarm clock, and on their body was painted Chinese lacquer painting.
In 1853, the world saw a new model of the clock, which could show time in two time zones. This model became the main basis for the watch model called "Tutaym", the production of which was launched in 1896. The innovation of the company Thyson was repeatedly awarded with various awards. For example, at the world exhibitions held in Paris (in 1889,1890) and Geneva (in 1886), the company was awarded honorary awards.
In the early 20-ies of the 20th century, Thyson decided to work closely with the then-popular Omega watch company. The result of this cooperation in 1930 was the creation of the so-called Union of Swiss Watchmakers (SSHR). And already since 1998, Tisson became part of one of the largest groups of Swatch companies for today.
