All about Tissot and the T-Touch

Tissot is a Swiss watchmaker company founded in 1853. Tissot has over 150 years of innovation in Swiss watch-making tradition, which have made it a high-quality brand of watches, often associated with prestige and used as a status-symbol. The Tissot-company was the first to make a watch out of plastic, mother of pearl, wood (the Wood watch) and stone (the Rock watch). Tissot has become known in recent years for its tactile, or "T-Touch," technology; several new watches have touch-sensitive sapphire faces and include compasses, barometers, altimeters and thermometers. T-Touch watches have been recently featured in the movies Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Based in Le Locle, Switzerland and present in more than 150 countries around the world, Tissot has been, since 1985, a member of the The Swatch Group Ltd., the largest watch producer and distributor in the world. Watch Planet has an extensive range of Tissot men's watches and Tissot ladies watches all at fantastic prices.
