Story & Heritage
Founded in 1853 in Le Locle, Switzerland, Tissot is one of the most established names in Swiss watchmaking.
With more than a century and a half of horological history, the company has become internationally recognised for its combination of technical innovation, elegant design and accessible Swiss craftsmanship.
Throughout its history, Tissot has introduced numerous innovations, including the development of watches incorporating unusual materials and advanced technologies.
At the same time, the brand has maintained a strong connection to traditional watchmaking aesthetics, producing timepieces that reflect the enduring elegance of classical Swiss design. Rectangular wristwatches occupy a particularly important place in the history of horology.

During the early twentieth century, watchmakers began experimenting with alternatives to traditional round cases, introducing geometric designs inspired by architecture, decorative arts and changing fashion.
The rectangular watch became a symbol of modern elegance, offering a distinctive silhouette that combined refined proportions with understated sophistication.
This Tissot reflects that tradition through its beautifully shaped stainless steel case, black dial and striking silver-toned hour markers.
The curved sides of the case introduce a subtle architectural character, while the large Arabic numerals create a distinctive and instantly recognisable visual identity.
The combination of a black dial and polished steel case offers a timeless aesthetic that remains elegant regardless of changing fashion trends.
The sapphire crystal adds a practical element, providing excellent scratch resistance while protecting the refined dial.

The Swiss quartz movement represents another important chapter in the evolution of modern watchmaking, combining traditional design with the precision and convenience of electronic technology.
The black leather strap completes the composition, reinforcing the watch's elegant and versatile character.
Today, Tissot watches are appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts for their Swiss heritage, distinctive designs and connection to the evolution of modern horology.
With its elegant rectangular case, black dial, sapphire crystal and Swiss quartz movement, this Tissot offers an attractive combination of classic design and everyday practicality.
