Tissot has been a pillar of the watchmaking industry for over 170 years. After specializing in consumer grade pocket watches, Tissot first got international recognition for timing ski races in the Jura Mountains. Since then, Tissot has been the official timekeeper for worldwide events such as the Tour de France, MotoGP, and the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation. Through international partnerships, Tissot continues to release in-demand timepieces that have a devoted following.
