Tissot
The History
Tissot was founded in 1853 by Charles-Félicien Tissot and
his son Charles-Émile Tissot in the Swiss city of Le Locle, in the Neuchatel canton of the Jura Mountains area. The father and son
team worked as a casemaker (Charles-Félicien Tissot) and watchmaker (Charles-Emile). His son having expressed an interest in watchmaking from a young age. The two turned their house at the time into a small ‘factory’. Charles-Emile Tissot left for Russia in 1858 and succeeded in selling their savonnette pocket watches across the Russian Empire. Russia became Tissot’s greatest market, with the brand gaining popularity even in the Tsar’s court; so Charles Tissot, Charles-Émile’s son, moved to Moscow in 1885 to manage the branch.
