Switzerland knows how to make beautiful watches and Tissot has definitely contributed to this reputation in the world. Tissot is the number one Swiss watch brand in the traditional watch segment in terms of units and has achieved a strong international presence reaching over 160 countries around the world. Here are some of the 2012 new editions, just in time for Valentine’s day.
Tissot has been one of the leading swiss brands in the world of watch-making, since 1853 with the first productions. It started with Pocket watches in the great tradition of watch making. Then it went from the first self-winding watch with a banking rotor mechanism in 1944 up to the famous T-Touch in the years 2000. We can see that the Brand tagline is perfect: “Innovators by Tradition”.
After so many years, Tissot found its way inside the Swatch Group and since then, it really got into a global Brand strategy with a strong distribution network and a challenging celebrity endorsement program. Tissot is also one of the single swiss watch brands doing E-Commerce in direct-to-consumer approach. They propose a (supposed to be) simple procession which you can measure your strap and adapt it yourself. Also, during the years celebrities like Sarah Bernhard, Grace kelly or even Nelson Mandela found in the Tissot watches a certain idea of timeless elegance and reliability. Today, Tissot is loyal to its ambassadors program. Check here the Brand today’s official ambassadors:
Danica Patrick, Race Car Driver (NASCAR® and IndyCar®) and first lady ever to win an IndyCar race,
