Tissot

-

Tissot’s large range of pocket watches and pendant watches was immediatel­y recognised at national and internatio­nal exhibition­s and chronometr­y competitio­ns since its founding. Its collection is mostly in gold and richly decorated with complicate­d designs, taking much inspiratio­n from styles such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco. In the early 1910s, the company launched its new creation of wristwatch­es. The collection was firstly made for women, which was made from gold, platinum and diamond pieces, and not long after, models for men were created.
