Tissot Watches

Founded by a father and son in 1853, Tissot produces quartz, mechanical, and even T-Touch watches whose functions are activated by touching the bezel. A leader in the affordable Swiss watch category, Tissot is owned by the Swatch Group. It is well known for the Rock watch that it unveiled in the 1980s, whose case was made of rock from the Swiss Alps. Today, Tissot’s best-selling lines include the aforementioned T-Touch, the Seastar Chronograph, the SuperSport Chronograph, and an impressive Heritage line – with most watches retailing for well under $1,000.
