Tissot Watches A Brief History
Tissot is a brand that everyone is familiar with but perhaps you can’t exactly recall where you saw the ad. That’s because Tissot Watches is the Official Timekeeper for Nascar and you’ve undoubtedly seen their ads in the background at a Nascar Race.
Female Nascar driver, Danicka Patrick is one of their more famous Celebrity Spokespersons, along with Soccer player Michael Owen, just to name two.
Another thing that Tissot Watches is famous for is their luxury watch T-Touch Titanium design. It’s as innovative as it is functional and T-Touch is a feature you can only find on a Tissot Watch. Here’s how it works:
You press the middle one of 3 buttons on the right side of your watch and then you’re able to access some ingenious features simply by tapping on the screen on your watch. Some Tissot Watches, the T-Touch Expert, have 16 different, very cool functions that can be accessed this way. A few of those are:
- Alarm
- Barometer
- Altimeter
- Thermostat
- Meteo-measures weather conditions
- Calendar
- Backlight
- Compass
You can see by this list that Tissot manufactures a very serious timepiece, something for professional climbers, hikers, auto racers, even golfers.
A Tissot watch is not only a precision instrument, it’s also stunningly beautiful. There are many designs in stainless steel, silver, and gold but their most recognizable watchband might be the one constructed of bright yellow rubber. It’s a durable, yet comfortable watch that you’ve no doubt seen on the wrist of famous skiers.
The Tissot Watch was invented in 1853 by Charles Tissot and his son in the Jura Mountain region of Locle, Switzerland and the headquarters for Tissot Watches remains there to this day. They began their watch-making endeavor with a simple concept: quality craftsmanship! And today people all over the world wear their exquisite, well-designed watches.
But if you are an adventurer, someone who might find his or herself dangling off the side of a mountain in Tibet, or rafting white water in Colorado, or even running a few laps around the track at the Indianapolis 500, then you might want to take a Tissot Watch along on your journey.
The only thing this tissot doesn’t tell you is how to get back home.
